Kuo: Apple’s 5G modem is not quite ready, Qualcomm will supply 5G chips for 2023 iPhones

29 June 2022
Qualcomm stock rose shortly after the analyst reported about next year’s iPhones.

    Apple will be fully ready in 2024. But how will they sell it? Will they sell 5G and 4G iphone separately in different price range. Other flagships maker already dropped 4G version and only release 5G flagship phone. People won't take it nicely if iphone 4G phone sold at the same price range with 5G phone in 2024.

      Oren, 30 Jun 2022Apple M1, M2 was benchmarked with Intel from 8th gen, 2019 ... moreWow, this is the dumbest comment I've read today.

      Yes, they overestimated the GPU claims of their SoC (3090 performance for M1 Ultra lol); but, if you even have the capability to at least check the footnotes on what device they used, it's clearly stated that the M2 was compared against an MSI Prestive 14 Evo, which has a i7 1260P in the 12-core comparison, and a Galaxy Book2 360 with an i7 1255U for the 10-core slide as written in their footnotes.

      I mean, I don't really expect much out of the people commenting here in GSMArena, but this is a new low🤣 Imagine hating a company so much that you just spew nonsense to feel better about yourself. Not even defending Apple, just felt the need to be fair and correct dumb comments such as this one.

        But lots of entry and midrangers are now getting MTK.
        Apart from few that use 695 or 778 SD chips, the 720 and 732 variants are practically dead. I know they are old, but they are so good for a budget phone, especially for battery life.
        Regardless, I still am a fan of QC and just want them to stay on top no matter what MTK fans say.

          The Android Freak, 30 Jun 2022I am yet to see Dimensity 720 device even in China.There is quite few Dimensity 920 and 720 devices around, most notable being Realme 9 Pro+ with D920.

            Apple M1, M2 was benchmarked with Intel from 8th gen, 2019 - 3 years old processor.

            now, Apple 5G.
            i think they will benchmark to 2019 4G speed too.
            so, finally -
            A low spec 5G, low watt, low capacity,
            but hey, 10x faster than 2019 4G,
            even though still subjected to same Telco's 5G supply.

            but Apple Fans - WoW! 10x faster internet than my iPhone 11!

                    Yawn. Yet another round of Kuo's bad analysis. Why is he still newsworthy is a mystery to me when there is Gurman. Kuo just tries to piggyback off of other leaks, while he makes absurd claims like the 2022 MBA having M1 instead lmao.

                      Get prepared for terrible battery life as usual on 5g

                        And there goes security.We all have already seen Qualcomm modem vulnerability many times.Its even worse than unisoc.Nokia and others have better modem then them for a company named Quality communications.It makes me sad that huawei ,one of the most innovative network company aren't even seen in market these days

D8100 and D9000 are basically unobtainable in Europe. There is basically just Xiaomi X4 GT with D8100 and even that one is weirdly downclocked for whatever stupid reason. I just don't get it why, it has been out for almost a year now...

                              With what happened with m1, a deviant of Intel's hot stove, this new 5g modem, currently under trials not minding its failed outcomes will be nothing short of a revolution for the mobile chip avenue. Apple's ability to fine-tune its hardware, seemingly what other mobile chip makers are incapable of by design or not will grant another avenue for Apple to revolutionise the game once again.
                              Now it's a question of who takes the heat and less of it because I envisioned other manufacturers racing to make up for their lax arrogant stance when it's revealed. Just like what MediaTek did that jolted Qualcomm to remember the stable embrace of TSMC.

                              Apple is strenuous in its optimization department. I look forward to this supposedly 5g modem when it's revealed.

The only chipsets that really kill their high end segment, the D8100 and D9000 are nowhere to be found through most of the world outside China really. All you see is just bunch of D720 and D920 and still ton of crappy Helio G series.

                                    I hope this is true.
                                    QC should use this opportinity to come up with the SoC that will overtake MTK back. They will also be on a wider spread with their tech now.
                                    I just hope they keep impressing us like before.
