Everyone must be familiar with and Huawei .

Everyone knows that Huawei once challenged Apple and Samsung on its own, and successfully occupied 17% of the global high-end mobile phone market.

However, these feelings are relatively vague and not enough to truly feel the power of Huawei.

This time, the comparison is here.

There is no harm without comparison. On June 29, Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo tweeted, "The latest survey shows that Apple's 5G chip development has failed." All iPhones released in 2023 will use modems produced by Qualcomm chip.

The success of Huawei mobile phone is largely due to its self-developed processor Kirin chip . As early as 2019, Huawei took the lead in launching a 5G chip - Kirin 980 with self-developed 5G baseband Barong 5000; Huawei released the world's first dual-mode 5G mobile phone - Huawei M20X 5G, which caused a global sensation upon its release. .

apple bitter baseband chip long gone

The so-called baseband chip is equivalent to a translator in the mobile phone. If you want the mobile phone to have the most basic functions of making calls and sending text messages, you need the mobile phone to have radio frequency, baseband, power management, external Equipment and software.

Among them, the radio frequency and baseband parts are the core of the baseband chip. The radio frequency part is responsible for sending and receiving information, while the baseband is responsible for information processing. The baseband chip is used to synthesize the baseband signal to be transmitted, or to decode the received baseband signal.

A Qualcomm executive once said that the 5G baseband cannot be developed without thinking, and it requires a lot of time and energy.

For companies that develop self-developed chips, baseband is an important part of the development of the communications era and is also a major technological high ground. At that time, the mobile phone chip giant Texas Instruments , due to the lack of baseband technology, its market share was gradually taken away by Qualcomm, and it gradually failed.

Looking around the world, there are currently only a few manufacturers that have this technology and can make commercial products with good performance, including Huawei, Qualcomm, MediaTek , Samsung, Unisoc , etc. However, apart from Qualcomm, Huawei was the most powerful in 5G chip research and development that year.

The United States is madly suppressing Huawei because Huawei has already made great progress on the 5G track, while the United States and other countries are still behind the starting line.

Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau arbitrarily detained Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou, and threatened her, demanding Ren Zhengfei hand over 5G technology, but Ren Zhengfei sternly refused, Ren Zhengfei said I have been prepared not to see Meng Wanzhou for the rest of my life.

cannot suppress Huawei in terms of design, nor can it "steal" technology. The United States wants to strangle Huawei's neck in terms of production. As a result, the entire Chinese semiconductor industry was jointly blocked by Western countries led by the United States and experienced a severe chip winter.

But the United States must not have expected that four years later, it has tried its best and racked its brains to hold back Chinese companies, but its own American companies still failed to catch up with Chinese companies in 5G chip design.

The most advanced 5G chip currently developed by Qualcomm is Snapdragon 865, which uses the external Snapdragon X55 baseband. Huawei's previous 5G chip Kirin 990 has already integrated the 5G baseband into the chip. This makes Huawei's 5G chips completely surpass Qualcomm in terms of power consumption, power consumption, and chip and baseband coordination.

Four years have passed and the United States has tried its best to stop Huawei and Chinese semiconductors. However, the top American chip design companies are still defeated by Huawei. It can only be said that they do not have the strength.

Let’s not talk about whether Apple’s self-developed 5G baseband will be successful. Even if Apple uses the self-developed baseband, it is still unknown whether the iPhone’s signal will become better.

Some netizens started ridiculing mode for Apple's failure in research and development: suggested that Cook help resolve Huawei's chip production blockade order, and Huawei should supply 5G baseband chips to Apple's iPhone to prevent Qualcomm from being dominant.
