Apple is working on its own modem for use in future iPhones

12 December 2018
The company seems eager to not depend on third parties anymore.

    And I will enjoy my open source, spyware OS with open arms because at the end of the day I can put on a different launcher which totally changes the phone.

      Same case, why all the Android OEMs removing the headphone jack, microSD expansion, added the notched screens??

      What about changing the on screen menu buttons to swipe gestures, JUST SO HAPPEN when Apple did it? Why change NOW?

        HUHU, teardrop cutout design from Essential phone came first, but why the OEMs larger notch looks so similar to Apple's iPhone X? In fact, why make the notch design in the first place since you android fanboys seems so against it and you guys were so sure what's best for yourselves?

        Android brands doesn't seem to give a damn about you too

        Both are equally guilty.

        Enjoy your open source user data collecting/spying software too bud.

          Why aren't crapPhones still 4 inches and under??? Because they weren't selling well enough so crApple designed a phone with a large screen to compete with the DOMINANT Android phones at the time.
          What about the all screen design of the Galaxy S8 and no screen buttons. 6 month's later who copied that idea.... APPLE.

            Anonymous, 14 Dec 2018LOL Apple copy Android? Yet android follows the notch d... moreI'm not talking about things that are recent, I'm talking about the notification bar, the pull down notification. Any customization at all actually. Apple sheeple say 'why customize the phone, "t's good the way it is, Apple knows best for what I want". Well I for one don't like the back button being as far away as possible from my thumb during one handed use. Just a stupid place and it's still there. Certain android phones can swap the back and recent apps button positions. App drawer is an Android implementation (I'm sure of it).

            And for the notch design, it's not Android. It's certain phone brands that follow the ridiculous notch and stupid camera placement on the back. Not all brands removed the headphone jack. Removal of the app drawer is a downright stupid idea to me be it Android or iOS.

            You need to understand that Android is more than just a brand, it's the OS (the leading one at that) that is the backbone of many more devices around the world that s#itty iOS ever will. Have fun with your dictator iOS P.O.S phone.

              Yet android follows the notch design, removed the headphone jack and some OEMs are also doing a version of Face ID, removing microSD expansion plus all the china brand skins which removes the app drawer and looks a lot like iOS?

              Android 9.0 pie has a swipe gesture just so happen when iOS 12 have it with iPhone X?

              Android fanboys are officially worse than Apple's hands down.

              BUNCH. OF. HYPOCRITES.

                Mailman, 13 Dec 2018I don't like apple's behavior as well and price adjustments... moreNo, people don't hate Apple because they can't afford it, I for one certainly can more than afford but have never bought any Apple device, simply because i love value for my money and have never felt the need for a show off device. Apple gadgets have absolute trash value per dollar but that's not the point. There are few genuinely good reasons people hate Apple for.

                For example their Attempt to create a walled garden around their devices. Like Sony of old days Apple too indulged into making proprietary things from charging ports to external peripheral ports such as firewire, even now iPhones have not embraced the USB standards.... and it's not limited to just hardware, don't even want to get into itunes.... It's their right to do but then in turn they would get the very well deserved hate for that too....

                How about going out of their way to make it next to impossible for third party repair, right from making non removable batteries (long before any water resistance on iPhones) to proprietary screws to bricking the whole phone for having third party repaired home button which by nature of use was the most likely candidate for a repair..... And this is very much unethical business practice so people would hate them for this....

                How about sticking to non-expandable storage(SD cards) and then charging way more for larger storage options on iPhones.... Speaking of which that has made way into even the macbooks...Along with RAM strips, they now solder the SSDs onto motherboard to make it impossible to do any upgrade on Macbooks post purchase (thus enabling them charge obscenely high for larger storage or more RAM at the time to purchase the macbook)..... got a corrupt SSD or RAM? replace the entire motherboard... and this very much plays into their booming repair business since even for a fault in the display the entire motherboard needs to be replaced according to their genius bar (Watch Rossman- CBS video).... people have nowhere else to go because they just make it impossible for third party repairs.... again unethical and deceitful practice....

                How about slowing down phones via software updates and not even communicating to users let alone asking their consent, until they got caught...... well they are facing lawsuits for that so it crosses the line of being just unethical, it's downright illegal....

                List could go on my friend but that's why many people who hate apple, do hate Apple.....

The reasons are: child labor, stolen technology, paying wannabes to ridicule other brands and brag about their products and how "good" they are (this is also practice from Samesung). Destroying the market by raising the price for nothing, doing this they actually raised the price of a smartphone to almost 30% more then it was at the beginning of 2017. Not to talk abou dongles and all the crapp they made a "trend". Of course when other OEM's see apple can sell nothing for 1200€ then sell fast chargers for another 30 then dongles then headphones and so on? Why would they not? This is how the marketing is actually foing the a very wrong way. Now why i dislike apple fans? Because they give Gas to this customer greedy company without thinking. Like givin people money to throw plastic in the Ocean and the complain about the mess.

From my wifes iPhone 3g when I had to install that garbage iTunes program to put music on her phone up until recently our service department got an iPhone 7 for road calls. They are not for me easy to use, I am either too stupid or too smart, idk. I have no problem going from Android to Android (LG, Samsung, Sony).
                        They are nice and smooth for scrolling sure, but I don't see any benefit of an iPhone over Android.
                        Plus they keep copying Android's ideas.

                          Anonymous, 13 Dec 2018Will they licenses or steal patent? They will probably just steal. They've been doing it for years against Ericsson with radio communication patents, because they know the corrupt American courts will let them get away with it.

                            Mzma PIB, 13 Dec 2018But limited to 5G only.. how about 2/3/4G? When 5G coverage... moreIt'll default to 4G then. Most of the time though, when the towers finally go up, which should be soon, you would be able to use 5G at it's fullest

                              Okay, let's see what we got in the chips series by Apple:
                              Ax- the main chip of iDevices
                              Mx- co processor inside the Ax. (from A7 onward), lowers strain from CPU by taking unique tasks to the Mcore)
                              Sx- Apple watch chips.
                              Wx- AirPods chip.
                              Tx- Security chip
                              Gx- GPU cores...
                              and now Cx- for modems...
                              still trying to figure where's the sense in these letters. but okay~

                                Mailman, 13 Dec 2018I don't like apple's behavior as well and price adjustments... morePerhaps and perhaps. we cannot know. ^^;

                                  It's all about attitude, treating their customers like an !diot. They always overcharge for things and like to control every aspect of their products, even their customers.

                                    Aka they couldn't keep cheating and don't want to have to pay others because after everything they try to make companies and customers pay them why should they have to pay anyone.
                                    So now that the plan has failed attempt to make their own.... And so probably copy aspects they might not get caught doing so to do it.
