A max-version of any device implies that it is the best of something ahead of its physical size, hence phrases like 'to the max'. This really is just the beginning.īeyond this, the name 'Max' is also problematic.

Apple will be unable to differentiate the performance of its early modems from Qualcomm modules (to ensure consistency of user experience), but Apple fans can expect to see significant benefits once the company takes full control.Īnd from there, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple get back into the home networking market with additional performance and functionality coming when iPhones, iPads, Macs and smart home devices are connected to Apple routers.

That said, history shows that the more Apple controls of its hardware, the closer it can integrate silicon and software and the better the user experience. This would almost certainly be a phased introduction with Apple highly unlikely to be able to produce gen-one chips to the necessary scale (nor would it be desireable given the potential for bugs). If correct, the long and short of this is that while we can forget about an Apple modem in the iPhone 14 lineup, the hardware does look set to appear in 2023 iPhone 15 models. The source also shared that Apple is developing the modem (including the radio frequency module and PMIC - power management integrated circuit) under the codename 'Ibiza'. The source described themselves as "speechless" at the reports of failure, explaining that " just postponed the mass production time from the original second quarter of 2023 to the fourth quarter of 2023." That has now been shot down via a source shared by ShrimpApplePro (the anonymous account known for its accuracy). The iPhone 14 has been no different until a head-turning report from Ming-Chi Kuo last week that development of the modem " may have failed " with Apple forced to rely on Qualcomm for the foreseeable future. Since then, every iPhone has been rumored to debut Apple's first in-house 5G modem. Apple also bought Intel's smartphone modem business with the aim of phasing out Qualcomm modems over the next few years. Meanwhile, any potential iPhone 13 upgraders would now be wise to wait until the iPhone 14 models launch in September.Ġ7/05 Update: new light has been shone on what has arguably become one of the iPhone's most controversal components: its 5G modem.Īfter multiple high profile litigation lawsuits between Apple and its primary supplier Qualcomm, the two companies signed a six-year licensing agreement in 2019. But leaks will accelerate now mass production has begun.
What is driving this demand, given the historically minor upgrades coming to standard iPhone 14, remains to be seen. At present, in the Chinese market, the iPhone 14 prepaid deposit is significantly higher than the iPhone 13 and even twice as high in some areas." "My latest survey indicates that some Chinese distributors/retailers/scalpers have to pay the highest prepaid deposit ever for iPhone 14 to ensure a sufficient supply. This will be critical for Apple given that Kuo believes that demand for the iPhone 14 lineup will be stronger in China than it has been for iPhone 13 models:
