Even if the iPhone 14 family is Apple’s newest models, the first leaks about the iPhone 15 have started to come. According to new information, iPhone 15 models will use much more powerful 5G modems. It was even stated that Apple would prefer Qualcomm’s 5G modem, with which it had been “fighting” for a long time.
iPhone 15 comes with renewed 5G modem
The iPhone 14 family uses Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 as the 5G chip. Given the ongoing patent infringement lawsuit between Apple and Qualcomm, it was thought that this partnership would not continue. But according to industry analyst Jeff Pu, the Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modem will be used in the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16.
The latest 5G chip developed by Qualcomm has less power consumption in addition to lower latency. It also features better connection speed and more reliable coverage no matter where the phone is located. It should also be noted that the Snapdragon X70 offers artificial intelligence optimization.
As you know, Apple produces its own chips in the iPhone series. Even in MacBook and Mac, the technology giant has switched to its own “M” series processors, and still depends on Qualcomm in modems. But after 2025 (it could be the iPhone 17), there is a possibility that we will see hardware produced entirely by Apple.
In 2019, Apple tried to end its 5G partnership with Intel and buy the company’s 5G modem rights. As a result of the failure of this attempt, it turned to Qualcomm and continues to use Snapdragon modems for 5G.
It is possible to say that an iPhone hardware produced entirely by Apple will take longer than possible plans. However, preliminary information shows that the Qualcomm Snapdragon X70 modem will be used for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16.
