Anonymous, 30 Nov 2023Making a good modem is not hard tor them...getting around Q... moreIt's just a matter of time before Apple make it happen. They don't want external modems from Qualcomm. The integration will be better if the components are all in house and I think Apple will go for that. They would have known about the patents and struggle of Intel in making a modem before buying them out.
People are ignorant AF as to how hard it is to make a modem competitive with Qualcomm. Ask Samsung how difficult it can be. Space and power constraints make it a nightmare for engineers.
Of course any apple article has a bunch of fandroids on it that have nothing better to do with their lives but hate on Apple. It's amazing that a tech firm can live rent free in their heads like Apple does.

Because people pay more for Apple, means its more valuable. If they didn't deem it valuable, the used prices would crater.
How are they getting screwed over? If something is priced too high, sales will fall. It's basic supply and demand. If Samsung, or Chinese OEM's could charge higher prices like Apple, they would. Their goal is to maximize profits, as is Apple. They're not running a charity.

5G is basically 'new title' and the boy which claims it is scam don't know how it works that 5G is based on LTE and NR (new radio) which works together dual simultaneously it's basically "add on for lte. (NSA + SA)
Depending where who lives go to settings on your Android phone status sim status and while you see you running "5G" signal it will say in status LTE & NR (new radio) So LTE along withNR boosting speeds..
On 4G it is LTE & CA (carrier aggregation)
Tons of info online.. 🤷♂️

This story was published just 2 weeks ago in Bloomberg
https://www.gsmarena.com/report_apples_inhouse_modem_pushed_further_into_late_2025_early_2026-news-60616.php
Now I may be wrong I doubt it, when you get a tip, it is before the event an ability to read a published article, repost it offering nothing new is copying. Apple are not going to confide or have him sit in on daily briefings.
Why I find this story hard to accept is 5G is for another 4 to 5 years, 6G follows any abandonment now makes Apple solely reliant on Qualcomm for the next 15 years
There is no mention of Intel either.
