Apple officially buys intel's 5g modem business

A few days ago the news jumped and finally it is official. Apple is done with Intel's 5G modem division. The Cupertino firm will pay $ 1 billion for this operation, a figure that was originally thought to be higher, but ultimately it has not been. Although according to the firm, they have bought the majority of the business, so we do not really know what it includes in its entirety.

The purchase has yet to be approved by the various agencies. So in this sense we will have to wait a few months yet.

Official purchase

This operation is a move of enormous interest to Apple. After burying the hatchet with Qualcomm in this regard, it caused Intel to abandon the 5G modem market and decide to officially sell this division. While it is now the Cupertino company that buys it. The second largest purchase in its history, but it can also give them some independence from Qualcomm in the near future.

Although this will not happen until at least 2025, due to the agreement they have with Qualcomm. But it gives the company time to develop its projects in this field, to depend less on this company in the future.

A strategic purchase by Apple, which undoubtedly generates comments. We hope to know more about the operation, which first has to be approved. So the process will not be official for a few months, when everyone has given its approval.
