Deep dives
Apple partners with Qualcomm for 5G chips
Apple has entered into a three-year agreement with Qualcomm to use its 5G chips for its iPhone launch. This move suggests that Apple is encountering difficulties in developing its own wireless semiconductors. The agreement will provide Apple with proper 5G capabilities for the next four iPhone generations, as Apple has not been able to get its own internal modem up to standard. Qualcomm is a market leader in modem manufacturing and will continue to supply Apple with the necessary chips.
