Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Brother Black fly's left hand clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Nov. 17 (Xinhua)-- Mark Mark Gurman of Bloomberg released the latest Power On newsletter, saying Apple's plan to develop a 5G modem is in trouble.

CTOnews.com note: Apple acquired most of Intel's smartphone business in 2019 and began to seriously develop its own modem hardware, but the development process was not smooth.

Apple originally planned to launch a self-developed 5G modem chip in 2024 and first installed it on the iPhone SE model, but it was later reported that it had been postponed to 2025.

In the latest newsletter, Goolman said that Apple plans to postpone the launch of its own 5G modem chip again, which has been postponed to the end of 2025 or early 2026.

Goolman revealed in the article that Apple's self-developed 5G modem chip is still in its early stages and may be "years" behind its competitors.

Sources say that Apple's current 5G modem chip does not support mmWave technology, and there are two main problems: first, Intel's legacy code needs to be rewritten by Apple, and adding new features may interrupt existing functions; second, in the process of developing the chip, be careful not to infringe on Qualcomm's patents.

"We took over a failed project from Intel and we blindly and confidently thought we could succeed," said one Apple employee. It is said that Apple's hardware technology department is "stretched" in many projects, and resources are not tilted to it, making it difficult to solve errors.
