Apple’s proprietary modem is likely to change the “look and feel of the iPhone” in the long run

Mark GermanThe well-known whistleblower says that Apple has invested billions of dollars in the development of the modem to connect to its network; But it is not expected to bring short-term improvements for iPhone users.

According to German, the initial version of the exclusive modem of Cupertinos does not work properly. Apple officials believe that customers don’t really care what company’s modem goes into their iPhone; Therefore, it will be difficult to explain the short-term benefits of using an internal modem.

Instead, Apple plans to pursue the “long-term game,” hoping that its modem will become a highly advanced component in the coming years and ultimately change the way the iPhone looks and works.

“There are plans for Apple to integrate its modem design into a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled chip,” Garman writes. This will create a single module that may improve reliability and battery life. Additionally, it’s possible that Apple will one day include all the components in the main processor. This will reduce the cost of production and will save the internal space of the iPhone.”

Apple has used modems designed by Broadcom and Qualcomm for more than a decade; But after a legal battle over royalties and patents in 2018, he turned to his own modem design. Since then, the creator of the MacBook faced problems with the power consumption of the internal modem and postponed the release of this part to the future.
