Apple's plans to make its own 5G modem have been delayed for several years now.
But a new report says it'll go into select iPhones from 2025 onwards.
Some Apple predictions turn out to be overly optimistic – so for example back in 2020 Apple announced that it was making its own 5G modem, and that was widely expected to appear in the iPhone 13. It didn't, and it didn't make it into the iPhone 14 or the iPhone 15 either. But a new report says that the chip is finally going to go into production, and we'll see it in the iPhone 17 Slim and the iPhone SE 4.
