Apple may stop using intel 5g modems

In the absence of official confirmation, everything indicates that Apple is going to stop using Intel's 5G modems on their iPhone. The firm was using them for the 2020 generation of phones, but there has been a change of plans. For this reason, the Cupertino firm would stop using them on their devices. It seems that they are waiting for another provider to give them a better solution.

Apple May Stop Using Intel 5G Modem

The Cupertino company appears to have already informed Intel of its decision to dispense with its modems in its next generation of phones. An important setback for the supplier company.

Apple will not buy more Intel modems

Upon receiving notice that their modems will no longer be purchased and used, Intel has stopped production of them entirely. Since Apple was the company for which they were intended, significantly altering the company's plans. At the moment, the only thing that seems to be known is that the quality was not up to what Apple expected and that is why it was decided to stop using these modems.

Although not much more is known so far. There are already rumors that other firms such as MediaTek are already in contact with the Cupertino company. And it seems that they are the best castings to become the suppliers of the company headed by Tim Cook.

It remains to be seen what happens, but with this decision, Apple is becoming more independent from Intel. Since they have been reducing the number of components of the firm that they use on their iPhone in a remarkable way in recent months.
