Original title: Apple will launch its own 5g baseband chip within three years as soon as possible, which is expected to be launched in 2022
Recently, fast company published a report confirming that Apple will develop its own 5g baseband chip in less than three years, that is, Apple will carry its own 5g baseband chip on its new iPhone in 2022 as early as.
However, according to various sources, it is a very radical plan for apple to develop its own 5g baseband chip within three years, even though Apple has acquired Intel's modem business.
Earlier, apple ended its litigation dispute with Qualcomm for more than a year and reached a settlement with Qualcomm. The two sides immediately signed a contract for apple to purchase Qualcomm's 4G baseband chip. The next day, Intel announced that it would give up its business on mobile modem, and apple and Qualcomm resumed their previous cooperative relationship.
At that time, many people in the industry said that the settlement between apple and Qualcomm was only an expedient measure. Apple's ultimate goal was to independently develop its own baseband chip. Three months after the settlement, Apple announced the acquisition of Intel's mobile modem business, which was one step closer to self-developed baseband chip.
The use experience of intel mobile terminal baseband chip before the acquisition is far less than that of Qualcomm baseband chip. Since Apple turned to Intel baseband chip, apple mobile phone has been criticized in terms of signal. It is expected that the cooperation with Qualcomm will continue beyond 2022. Even if Apple successfully develops its own 5g baseband chip in 2022, it still needs to be tested by the market.
