iPhone poor signal seems to have continued for many generations. For so long, whether it is baseband chip using Intel in the 4G era, or Qualcomm baseband chip using 5G era, Apple has not solved this problem. Many people also find it puzzled. Android phones actually use Qualcomm's baseband, so why is the signal better than Apple? One of the differences in design in this aspect may be the difference in design, and another reason may be that Apple chips and basebands are designed separately, while Android phones are both integrated into SoCs.

But in any case, it is recognized that Apple's iPhone signal is not that excellent. Even the latest iPhone 14 series still has such problems. For example, the author’s iPhone 14 Pro is normal most of the time, but when I go to some garages and basements, the network signal is significantly reduced, and the network may even be unable to find it. The more critical problem is that when the network signal is not good, when the handheld mobile phone returns to the normal area of the network signal, the network may be unable to recover for a long time, which makes us feel helpless sometimes.

We have predicted that this problem will only have qualitative changes after Apple starts to use its own developed baseband and also fuses the baseband with the main chip. According to previous statements by Apple and Qualcomm, the iPhone 15 series will share Apple and Qualcomm basebands, and after the iPhone 16 series, all iPhones will be replaced with Apple's own basebands. So the most optimistic situation is that when the iPhone 15 is launched, the network signal will improve.

But now the situation has been confirmed to change. I said before that Apple's self-developed baseband is not going well, but it seems that it is a solid news now. Qualcomm earlier stated at a financial meeting that it would provide 20% of the baseband for the new generation of iPhone 15 in 2023, which means that 80% of the baseband will be provided by Apple itself. But now the Qualcomm port has changed and publicly stated that by next year, Qualcomm will still provide 100% baseband for Apple iPhone , which shows that by next year, Apple's baseband will still not be used on its own mobile phones, and it has to continue to cooperate with Qualcomm.

Apple's baseband began to be developed as early as 2020, and it is planned to be officially commercialized in 2023. However, there were previously reports that even though Apple has used TSMC's advanced chip manufacturing process, it still cannot solve the problem of chip heating, so it has to postpone its launch time again. Of course, Qualcomm is definitely very happy, which means that it can continue to make a big profit in the baseband part next year.

Of course, for users, this means that the baseband design of Apple iPhone 15 will still remain in a similar state as it is now. The network performance of iPhone 15 will definitely be better, but the network signal is estimated to be the same as in these generations. So when you want to buy the next generation of iPhone 15, you have to be mentally prepared. The Internet is almost certainly still in this state. At least you have to wait for the iPhone 16 to be launched before it can improve!
