Intel 5G modem development continues as planned

Last week, Israeli media CTech reported that Apple had decided not to use an Intel 5G Sunny Peak modem on its future iPhones. Finally Intel has denied part of the report. The information that appeared suggested that Intel had decided to stop working on the chip and reassign its equipment to other projects, since Apple was expected to be the main buyer. However, Sunny Peak was not actually a 5G modem rather, the unannounced component is just a combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip with support for WiGi WiGi 802.11ad, but ran into engineering issues so it has been finally canceled.
