7 July 2 There are two major news about and Apple . One is the media report that Apple’s self-developed 5G chip has failed (it seems to be from Apple’s first brother Ming-Chi Kuo), and the other is that the iPhone 14 series has not been released yet, surrounding the issue of production capacity reduction. Become a controversial point in the industry. In particular, the former was once on the hot search, and some people called it and Qualcomm .
Anyway, everything is said about the failure of Apple’s self-developed 5G chip. Some industry insiders even analyzed that the reason for the failure was because there were two Qualcomm patents that Apple could not avoid. The latest news emerged on July 3. News from industry insiders "mobile chip experts" showed that Apple's 5G self-developed chips did not fail, but the mass production time was delayed. Mass production originally planned for the second quarter of 2023 has been postponed to the fourth quarter of 2023. Moreover, he also gave the name of Apple’s self-developed 5G chip project, and commented that these people did not know Apple’s R&D team at all, so they started talking nonsense.
Don’t say that this person’s information about industry chips is very accurate, because he may be a practitioner. This shows that Apple's self-developed 5G chips are still on schedule, but mass production has been delayed due to some uncontrollable reasons. You must know that when the media exposed Apple's self-developed 5G chips, Qualcomm admitted that it was about to lose a major customer, and this major customer was Apple. So the iPhone 15 series initially launched will be based on Qualcomm's 5G baseband. If Apple's 5G chips begin mass production in the fourth quarter of 2024, the later iPhone 15 series will most likely be equipped with its own 5G baseband. This is not impossible for Apple.
In fact, everyone knows Apple’s routine, which is to firmly control all core technologies in their own hands. Just like abandoning and Intel on the Mac series, Apple wants to completely abandon Qualcomm on the baseband chip and switch to a self-developed lineup. There is no doubt about Apple's strength, it's just that there is a problem with the mass production time, it's that simple.
