iPhone 17 to use Apple's own Wi-Fi 7 chip
The iPhone 17 coming in fall 2025 will use an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, according to renowned Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
The chip will replace the Broadcom chip that Apple currently uses for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Apple's Wi-Fi 7 chip will be built using TSMC's 7nm process. Apple apparently wants to move "nearly all" of its products to its own Wi-Fi chip within about three years, in order to cut supply costs and rake in more profits.
Apple is also working on its own 5G chip, which will be separate from the Wi-Fi one and built using a different TSMC process technology. This will also start to be used gradually from next year onwards. The first product to come with Apple's own 5G modem will be the next iPhone SE. This will however still use a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.
