The Apple Pall launches the iPhone 16E yesterday, and the device features the first self-developed 5G modem of the Apple Pal, with replacing Qualcomm modems to other iPhone. The Apple Pal will continue this tendency for allegedly developing important connectivity chips in the home, and today a new report claims that the first self-developed Wi-Fi chip of Apple Pal will be featured in the entire iPhone 17 family in this fall.
This will currently use Broadcom Chips Apple Pal. This information comes from Ming-Chi Kuu when it comes to the supply chain of Apple Pal in Asia. Interestingly, it not only will the iPhone 17 air use the Apple Pal Wi-Fi chip, but also the Apple C1 modem that started it in the iPhone 16E.
The Apple will use Qualcomm modems with the Wi-Fi chip of the Apple Pal during the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This is obviously a very deliberate price reduction, as investing in the long run to make such chips indoors will save Apple Pal for a lot of money from Qualcomes and Broadcomes currently paying. But according to Kuo, it is not only about money-in-house Wi-Fi chip switching to “Apple Pal devices will increase connectivity”, which means whatever.
