Apple plans to break its dependence on Qualcomm chips by making its own 5G modems for its devices. According to reports, the company is partnering with the manufacturer until the release of the iPhone 15, allowing the next iPhone phones to be released with big changes. The documents say that TSMC will be responsible for the production of products using 3nm technology, and the process will begin in 2023.

That is, since production will begin in the second half of this year, we won’t see details about Apple’s 5G modems until the official announcement of the iPhone 16 or any other line name in the future. The research and start of the project was in 2020, when the company had already questioned its policy of having multiple manufacturers work directly on its product. The intention is to get rid of third parties by moving all of their sectors to the full development of new technologies that will appear.

Another company on Apple’s radar is Broadcom, which makes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and wireless chips for the company’s smartphones. Even though their plan is to start the process of getting rid of the partnership in 2024, it’s worth remembering that this is a process that takes years, and even others are not at risk due to the difficulty of launching something like this. It is possible that in the next models we will see the beginning of this, and not a complete termination of the contract between Apple and other companies.

starting little by little

Documents obtained by the Commercial Times show that production will not be mass-produced at first, but will only be optimized next year when tests are carried out that prove viable. Whether it will arrive in time for the production of the new iPhone remains a mystery until the company’s official announcement clarifying its plans.

In 2020, the entire world came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic, starting a process of shortages of components that came from China and were sent to every technology industry we know. Due to the low production of video games, cell phones, tablets, laptops and some other products, some have begun to reflect on their addiction relationships and move towards releasing some of the restrictions in case we encounter a new problem in the future. Perhaps Apple’s success paves the way for others, but it’s too early to tell how others will react with the launch of Ibiza.
