Recently, there was news thatApplesLong-term commitment to self-developed 5GModemChipsand plans to replace it with its own technologyQualcomm** products. However, according to SinaTechnologyreports,ApplesIn many attempts to improve the self-developed 5GModemChipsAfter that, it was decided to stop the research and development work on the project. This means highly anticipatedApplesSelf-developed 5GModemProbably won't show up in the end.
The report statesApplesAttempts have been unsuccessful, and investment in the project is currently being reduced. ApplesSelf-developed 5GmodemChipsThere are two main challenges, one is that it needs to be rewrittenIntelLegacy**, adding new features may break existing functionality;Second, in the development process, it needs to be bypassedQualcommsomePatents。These challenges make the following:ApplesSelf-developed 5GModemChipshas encountered obstacles.
However, thoughApplesSelf-developed 5GModemaspects encountered difficulties, howeverApplesIt is still actively promoting self-developmentChipsdevelopment. ApplesJohnySrouji, senior vice president of hardware technology, and Johnny Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, said in an interviewAppleswillChipsand the introduction of component design into the interior is the most "profound change" in the last 20 years. They emphasize the user's rightChips** Attention, and expressedApplesThe pursuit is to create the best for the best productsChips。Based on this point of view, even ifApples's self-developed 5GModemPlans are frustrated,ApplesIt is also possible to continue to invest in self-developmentChipsand launch other types of self-developed products.
Except for 5GModemApplesIt also plans to develop its own productswi-fiChips。An analyst report has pointed out that in 2025iphone17Pro will be equipped with:ApplesSelf-developedwi-fiChipsand is expected to be self-developed in 2026wi-fiChipsExpand to the entiretyiphone18 series. However, the latest reports suggest thatApplesIt may be difficult to launch a self-developed development in 2025wi-fiChips
According to reportsApplesIn the past few years, it has been conducting self-developmentChipsR&D work, and in addition to 5GBasebandOutside the product,wi-fiChipsR&D has also encountered stagnation and team reorganization. This indicatesApplesInChipsOnce again, the R&D side faces the challenge of whether the equipment of the future can be equippedApplesSelf-developedChipsIt is also worrying.
In January of this year, it was reportedApplesWe are developing our own onewi-fiand BluetoothChips, and plans to start using it on its devices in 2025. However, subsequent revelations saidApplesSelf-development has been discontinuedwi-fiChipsand has been discontinued for some time. And in the next 2-3 years,wi-fiChipsAn important upgrade is coming. That's what it givesApplesShift to self-developmentChipsBrings a certain amount of risk. Therefore,ApplesWhether you will really use self-developed research in the futurewi-fiChips, which is not yet certain.
In general,ApplesSelf-developed 5GModemwithwi-fiChipsare facing new challenges and problems. Although past attempts have not been successful, butApplesIt is still actively promoting self-developmentChipsand strive to create the best quality products for users. In the future development process, we can expect:ApplesBring more self-developmentChipsProducts.
In summary,ApplesSelf-developedChipsAlthough the programme faces some difficulties and challenges, I am optimistic about its development prospects. Self-developedChipswill beApplesOffering greater autonomy and technological advantages is expected to lead to a better product experience for users. Although the current progress may not be as good as one would expect, butApplesAs a company with a pursuit of technology, I believe that they are developing their own productsChipsThere will be more breakthroughs and innovations in the field. Looking forward to the futureApplesIt can bring more surprising self-developmentChipsProducts.
