Apple has managed to produce a 5G modem, where it has been working on for many years and can overcome Qualcomm’s patents. Although it doesn’t have new technologies like Modem Mmwave, it is an important step for Apple to continue with its own modem. However, according to some leaks, the iPhone 17 series may not include C1 modem. Instead of the modem, which is expected to be included in the iPhone 17 Air model, is not Qualcomm but another surprise.
Will MediaTek Modem be used instead of C1 in the iPhone 17 series?
Apple’s first 5G modem appeared with the iPhone 16e in a surprise way. The most important feature of the modem is that it helps to increase signal in connections with iPhone models outside 5G. Especially Apple prepares after C1 modem generations for this technology, especially for the future satellite connection. Again, the biggest benefit of the modem is that it occupies much less space than the built -in Qualcomm 5G. This requires the use of C1 for the iPhone 17 Air.
However, the technology working on high band like MMWave is not included in the C1 modem. This technology is the technology that provides the highest network connection currently used. This allows you to download high -speed data and work in different networks. Although this high band technology is not in every country, it is quite common in USA and developed countries. Therefore, the C1 Modem seems to be in the iPhone 17 series.
Previously, the famous Apple Analyst Ming Chin Kuo announced that the C1 would not be in the iPhone 17 series and that Qualcomm modem will continue to be used. According to the details, Apple wants to completely break its bond with Qualcomm. In this sense, although not a C1 modem, MediaTek 5G Modem will appear in the iPhone 17 series. The reason for this is that MMWave Technology is also included in MediaTek 5G modems.
