Apple has mastered many aspects of smartphone design, but one thing the company seems to be really struggling with is 5G modems. As such, it currently relies on Qualcomm for these, and while it’s long been tipped that Apple is working on its own in-house modems, it doesn’t sound like it'll be ready for a long time yet.
This is according to Bloomberg (via 9to5Mac), which reports that this multibillion-dollar project now won’t see the light of day until at least late 2025, and possibly early 2026. Now, one report had already put Apple’s 5G modem launch at late 2025, but this article claims Apple was previously targeting spring of 2025 (so somewhere between late March and late June).
