The company may finally catch a break next year when it unveils the iPhone SE 4, which would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/iphone-se-4-first-apple-device-to-feature-in-house-5g-modem\/\">first handset to tout its custom baseband chip<\/a>. However, Apple\u2019s licensing agreement with Qualcomm will <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/apple-to-use-qualcomm-5g-modems-until-march-2027\/\">not end until March 2027<\/a>, but its plans to set up its supply chain for this particular component have already been set in motion.<\/p>\n<p>While the Cupertino giant has the resources to step away from Qualcomm in a few years, one analyst has implied that the 5G modem maker holds all the cards and it could deal a major blow to Apple by cutting it off from its list of customers that receive modem shipments. While Qualcomm would not benefit from this act, the blow dealt to Apple would be far more injurious, and the California-based titan would be left scrambling to find another supplier.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple likely wets Qualcomm\u2019s beak immensely with high sums of money for using the latter\u2019s 5G modems in various devices<\/h2>\n<p>On X, top-ranked technology analyst Patrick Moorhead shares his views on the current business relationship between Apple and Qualcomm. Given that the iPhone maker is currently in a tough position, Moorhead says that Apple\u2019s stock could come tumbling down if Qualcomm cuts off supply right this instant. However, it appears that the company already knows that its lucrative customer will achieve dependency at some point, so instead of holding some grudge against Apple, why not use this opportunity to monetize?<\/p>\n<p>Qualcomm likely receives a ludicrous sum from Apple to use its 5G modems in its iPhones, so removing the company\u2019s name from the list of customers will also deal a financial blow to the chipset manufacturer, irrespective of the harm that comes to Apple. It is also possible that the licensing agreement forbids Qualcomm from abruptly ending its business relationship with the Cupertino firm, though those details are not available at this time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Qualcomm <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24QCOM&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$QCOM<\/a> has already zeroed out Apple revenue for 2027 and beyond. Keep in mind, Apple has been trying to do this since July 2019 when it bought Intel\u2019s assets. Technically they have been trying to do it for a decade if you count Intel 5G. <\/p>\n<p>My belief: there will be Apple\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4wap26PHaN\">https:\/\/t.co\/4wap26PHaN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Patrick Moorhead (@PatrickMoorhead) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatrickMoorhead\/status\/1865477415004508333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As for how Qualcomm could have made from 5G modem sales, a \u2018Bill of Materials\u2019 analysis of the iPhone 16 Pro Max revealed that based on Apple\u2019s initial 90-million shipment target for 2024, an <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/how-much-revenue-qualcomm-will-make-through-iphone-16-5g-modem-sales\/\">estimated $2.52 billion could be generated<\/a>\u00a0from 5G modem sales alone, with this component reportedly costing $28 apiece. Bear in mind that this figure is just for the iPhone 16 lineup, and Qualcomm could be raking in significantly more because its baseband chips are used in previous-generation iPhones and current-generation iPads, which are sold all across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>As for Apple, its plan to use in-house 5G modems will commence with the iPhone SE 4\u2019s launch, with its end game being to <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/apple-three-modems-to-beat-qualcomm\/\">beat Qualcomm and bring mmWave support<\/a>\u00a0to the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
