https://wccftech.com/apple-plans-to-discontinue-development-of-5g-modem/ https://beebom.com/apple-gives-up-custom-5g-modem-development/ Hey Apple 🍎 Folks, Is this news true? If yes, then you all have completely surrendered to Qualcomm. It’s seem complete waste of Intel acquisition in 2019. Qualcomm will become the undisputed champion in Wireless again. #telecom
Seems like it
Yes Apple already has 7g modem ready 🙌
lol 😂 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dude is laughing like Apple model is already sent to tape-out.
Don’t wanna sound arrogant but if this makes you happy then I will let you be wet a bit longer.
Can totally see it happen, Apple modem was not going well for a very long time. Might be good for q shareholders. But not so good for modem engineers, one more destination is closed for them among already narrow choices.
So modem engineer could then stay at Qcom and have less fear of layoff?
This every QCOMer’s wet dream but I highly doubt the authenticity. Apple is not known to easily give up on projects but Cook will also not let it become his metaverse project. I suspect worst case, they will significantly scale down the resources but still keep the project ongoing for SE models.
I have zero direct or indirect knowledge of the matter, but is weird that Apple would acquire a networking chip division to develop a current gen chip, instead of a next gen chip. Apple may have never tried to get an in-house current gen chip, and instead aimed at a next gen chip from the very beginning. This makes the news still true…
Was next Gen when apple acquired Intel in 2019.. now current generation. 6G is a good 10 years away before it gets to customers..so not sure what the team will do till then
First 5g phones shipped in 2018 and 2019, so he teams internally tend to be working what’s next, not what’s about to ship
Yup, toast. Mass layoffs now. beebom, the highly regarded news site has spoken.
Is the news false, Mr Hat 🎩?
Are you doubting beebom ? Blasphemy
More reports, not sure if it’s same source though https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-reportedly-canceling-in-house-5g-modem-major-iphone-fail
Same source - some blogger on Naver yeux1122 A new report from "yeux1122" has been published on the Korean blog Naver, which suggests that Apple's 5G modem development will be discontinued.
I think what’s going to happen is that Apple will quit 5G modem and focus on 6G for 2027 launch. This will give Qcom additional business till 2027! There is no point developing 5G modem, better focus on next gen. Overall good news for $qcom !
I don’t think 6G will be ready by 2027

That’s why Qcom is up 3% today
Not sure why it is only up by 3% then.
Should go back to $200 if it’s true. I don’t believe the story though ..
