However, development is taking much longer than the company expected \u2013 but recent evidence suggests that we\u2019ll see Apple\u2019s first 5G modem next year. Read on as we detail everything we know so far about it.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-980140\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-brief-recap-on-apple-s-5g-modem\">A brief recap on Apple\u2019s 5G modem<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s no surprise that Apple wants to have better control over its hardware, as the company designs its own SoCs for iPhone, iPad, Mac and other devices. However, in 2019, Apple showed a huge interest in building its own cellular modems. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2019\/07\/25\/apple-confirms-1-billion-acquisition-of-intels-smartphone-modem-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The company acquired Intel\u2019s modem division for $1 billion that year<\/a>. Apple was hoping to have its own modem so that it would no longer have to rely on components made by Qualcomm.<\/p>\n<p>However, years have passed and Apple is yet to introduce a device with its own cellular modem. In fact, many rumors suggest that little or no progress has been made in all these years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2023\/09\/21\/apple-modem-chip-project-failed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to a <em>WSJ<\/em> report last year<\/a>, the prototypes built so far were considered a failure. They were too slow and susceptible to overheating, making them worse than Qualcomm\u2019s 5G modems used in current iPhones. These problems have led Apple to keep delaying the launch of its first custom 5G modem.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-apple-is-expected-to-introduce-its-5g-modem-next-year\">Apple is expected to introduce its 5G modem next year<\/h2>\n<p>Luckily for Apple, it seems that engineers have managed to solve at least some of these problems to make the company\u2019s 5G modem a reality. Multiple reports, including from <em>9to5Mac<\/em>, have revealed that Apple plans to launch the first devices with its own modem next year.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, reliable sources told <em>9to5Mac<\/em> that <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/10\/03\/iphone-se-4-modem-a18-camera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple has built an ambitious modem codenamed \u201cV59\u201d or \u201cCentauri\u201d<\/a> that can not only handle 5G, but also Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even GPS. According to our sources, the modem should drastically reduce battery consumption, especially when Low Power Mode is on.<\/p>\n<p>The first device expected to feature Apple\u2019s 5G modem is the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/guides\/iphone-se-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone SE 4<\/a>, which is rumored to be announced in the first half of 2025. By the end of next year, at least one of the iPhone 17 models will also have the new modem \u2013 most likely the <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/guides\/iphone-17-air\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone 17 Air<\/a>. Despite the benefits in terms of battery consumption, Apple still doesn\u2019t feel totally confident enough about its modem to put it in flagship products such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4g9iDfz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pro iPhones<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"5G mmWave and eSIM-only iPhone 16 still only available in the US\" class=\"wp-image-967082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=155,78 155w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=655,328 655w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=768,384 768w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=1024,512 1024w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=1536,768 1536w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=350,175 350w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=140,70 140w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=1600,800 1600w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=290,145 290w, https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/09\/iphone-16-5g-mmwave-sim.jpg?resize=150,75 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/11\/25\/iphoen-17-air-design-features\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a recent report from <em>The Information<\/em><\/a> revealed that Apple\u2019s current 5G modem prototypes still can\u2019t match Qualcomm\u2019s 5G chip in terms of performance. The prototypes also lack support for the super-fast 5G mmWave.<\/p>\n<p>While it may be a while before Apple puts its 5G modem into the entire iPhone lineup, the new modem seems like a good fit for devices like the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41cEcHw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apple Watch<\/a>, where energy efficiency matters more than performance. Of course, having its own 5G modem will also help Apple cut costs \u2013 although this doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that this difference will be reflected in the final price for customers.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that the wait for Apple\u2019s 5G modem will soon be over, at least for those planning to buy a new iPhone SE next year.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-read-also\">Read also<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ad-disclaimer-container\">\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\"><em>FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4eIpPy2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-979388\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/11\/ROBOROCK-BF-BANNER-750-x-1501.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"150\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2024\/11\/26\/apple-5g-modem-rumors\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a long time since Apple has been working on its own 5G modem.
