Who is the Apple 5G baseband chip? Four manufacturers may have hope

At the MWC2018 conference, 5G is undoubtedly one of the hottest points, and domestic and foreign mobile communication operators have revealed that they will complete the 5G communication layout in the past two years. So which baseband chip will Apple use on the iPhone in the 5G era?

Recently, foreign media VentureBeat concluded that Apple may use the following four manufacturers' 5G baseband chips on the iPhone.

Who is the Apple 5G baseband chip? Four manufacturers may have hope

There is no doubt that Qualcomm's baseband chips have great performance advantages in the current market, and the history of the two cooperations has a history. In addition, Qualcomm's accumulation of 5G technology has become one of its advantages. Currently, 19 manufacturers and 18 operators will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X50 modem on 5G devices launched in 2019.

However, due to the litigation battle between Apple and Qualcomm, it is also possible for the iPhone to stop using Qualcomm baseband chips.

The Samsung S9 just released is equipped with the Exynos 9810 processor, and this processor already supports full Netcom, which means that Samsung has made substantial progress in baseband. In addition, Samsung has publicly developed plans for 5G devices. Therefore, it is not surprising that Samsung continues to manufacture its own 5G baseband chips in the 5G era.

Since the iPhone 7, Apple has been using Intel's baseband chips in the iPhone. Intel has also announced the detailed specifications of the XMM8000 series 5G modem. If the performance is enough to seduce, it is very likely that Apple will continue to use Intel baseband chips on the iPhone.

Foreign media believe that if Apple does not use the 5G baseband chips of the above three manufacturers, then Apple will launch its own 5G modem.

This is not impossible, because Apple's W-series wireless chips have been used in Apple Watch, AirPods and Beats headphones.

So which 5G baseband chip will Apple use? Foreign media believes that Apple may first rely on Qualcomm, Samsung or Intel to launch its first 5G iPhone, and once Apple's own modem has substantially upgraded network compatibility and performance, it will switch to its own modem. .
