Recently, relatedApplesStop self-developmentBaseband chipsThe coverage of the project has attracted a lot of attention. As a tech giant with a huge fan base and unique design concepts,ApplesIt has been committed to independent research and developmentMobile phone basebandChipsto reduce pairsQualcommetcChipsQuotientdependency. However, after 4 years of hard work and huge investment,ApplesThe development of 5G has not yet been successfulBaseband chips, had to make a decision to stop R&D.
To develop a 5GBaseband chips, need to have a strongCommunication technologyand abundant accumulation. Baseband chipsYesMobile phonesThe communication module undertakes the task of communicating with the base station of the mobile communication network. OneBaseband chipsIt not only needs to support 5G networks, but also needs to be compatible with multiple standards and frequencies such as 2G, 3G, and 4G, which puts forward extremely high requirements for the mastery of patented technology and the accumulation of experience. ApplesInChipsThe technical aspect is really very powerful, but inCommunication technologyIt is relatively weak and needs to be accumulated from scratch. Therefore, a self-developed 5G was createdBaseband chips, able to achieve withQualcommand other competitors can compete with the level, which can be described as difficult.
ApplesAttempts have been made through acquisitionsIntelofBaseband chipsbusiness, but this initiative did not bring the expected results. After investing thousands of people and tens to tens of billions of dollars, the project has not made a breakthrough. Considering this reality,ApplesIt was decided to suspend self-developmentBaseband chipsproject, continue to useQualcommofBaseband chips, and toQualcommPayment of royalties.
ApplesStop self-developmentBaseband chipsThe project's move has sparked speculation and analysis. On the one hand, it can be understood as:ApplesThe company's self-development plan was blocked and could not achieve a breakthrough in the short term, so it decided to abandon further investment. On the other hand,Applesmay be more inclined to focus on what they are good at, and willCommunication technologyOutsourced to professionalsQuotient, so that innovative products that meet user expectations can be launched more efficiently.
QualcommAs a company that has been deeply involved in the field of communication for many years, in:Baseband chipsIt has strong strength and technical reserves in R&D and production. withQualcommCooperation can ensureApplesProduct stability and performance in the 5G era. In addition,QualcommofBaseband chipsIt has been widely used in othersMobile phonesbrand, with good compatibility and market recognition.
However, there are also opinions that there areApplesYou can choose to go withHuaweiCooperation, after allHuaweiofBaseband chipsThe technology is outstanding. As the world's leading manufacturer of communication equipment,HuaweiKirin, which is in a leading position in 5G technology and independently developedChipsIt is also highly praised in the market. IntroducedHuaweiwithQualcommCompetition, forApplesmay be a necessary option.
ApplesIt was decided to stop self-developmentBaseband chipsproject, this decision caused a certain shock in the industry. AlthoughApplesIt has strong technical strength and financial support, but inCommunication technologyThere are still many challenges in this area. Baseband chipsR&D requires strong communication capabilities and rich accumulation, which is not only a technical issue, but also closely related to patents, experience and market adaptability.
As an enterprise that has always been at the forefront of scientific and technological innovationApplesGive up self-developmentBaseband chipsProjects don't mean abandoning innovation. On the contrary,ApplesYou can devote more energy to the areas you are good at, such as hardware design and software development, to provide users with a more perfect product experience.
withQualcommcooperation continues to use itBaseband chips, not only ensureApplesIn the 5G era, product performance can also reduce self-developmentBaseband chipsInvestment risk of the project. At the same time, withHuaweiand so onQuotientSo is the cooperationApplesAn important option for future development. After all, cooperation can promote resource sharing and technology exchange, bringing more innovation and choice to users.
