tech giants Apple Take steps to become self-sufficient when it comes to powering a chip macbook Some time ago, with its M1 chips. Now, the company is working on developing its own modem chip, for which it still relies on other third-party chips. Renowned Apple Analyst ming-chi kuo previously claimed that modem chip May see daylight till 2023 and a new report from Nikkei Asia confirms the claim made by the technical analyst.
As per the report, Apple is looking for a closer partnership with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company for the same, which will help the company lean less on its shoulders. Qualcomm, partnership with taiwan chip maker 5G. could see iPhone The report states that the modem is being produced from 2023 onwards.
“Apple is planning to adopt TSMCFour people familiar with the matter said that the 4 nanometer chip production technology largely produces its first in-house 5G modem chip, adding that the iPhone maker is developing its own radio frequency and millimeter wave components to complement the modem. Has been doing. Apple is also working on its own power management chip specifically for modems, two people informed on the matter […]”, the report said.
Apple is using TSMC’s 5-nm chip production to design and test-produce 5G modems for the iPhone and once the objective is achieved, the company will move on to the 4nm process for mass production of the chips , the report said, based on inputs from sources.
The company seems to be gearing towards making it all Apple Show with indigenous device components, which will surely spoil its ties with Qualcomm.
