It was previously reported that because Apple's first 5G baseband chip has not made a breakthrough in research and development, Qualcomm will become the only 5G modem supplier for the iPhone 15 series. This means Qualcomm can continue to get a steady revenue stream from Apple's huge iPhone line, which will greatly help its revenue.
However, things have changed recently, and Apple seems to have made a breakthrough in the research and development of 5G modems. According to Wccftech, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said at the Mobile World Congress in Japan that Apple will produce self-developed 5G baseband chips in 2024, which means that the iPhone 15 to be released in September this year will be the last iPhonemodel equipped with Qualcomm 5G baseband chips. Apple has long struggled to develop its own 5G Modem chipset to replace Qualcomm's products. Qualcomm has also previously said it is aware that Apple will phase out its baseband chips. In January, people familiar with the matter said Apple hoped to replace Qualcomm's baseband chips with its own chips by the end of 2024 or early 2025. Qualcomm has previously told investors that it will continue to supply baseband chips to the "vast majority" of Phones until at least 2023. Today, Qualcomm CEO Ammon made public comments on the issue. Ammon said in an interview at Mobile World Congress that Apple may soon abandon Qualcomm's baseband chip. "We expect Apple to produce its own baseband chip in 2024," he said. "Of course, if Qualcomm is still needed, they know where to find us." In addition to Qualcomm's baseband chip, Apple is also preparing to drop a Broadcom WiFi and Bluetooth chip, a move aimed at reducing dependence on other chip makers. Previously, Apple's Macs had replaced Intel's processors with its own chips.
