Apple is 'Leaning Heavily' Towards Using Intel 5G Modems for Future Generation iPhones [Report]

Apple is 'leaning heavily' towards using Intel's 5G modems in future generation iPhones, according to Fast Company. Engineers at Apple have reportedly been working closely with Intel on its upcoming 5G technology for wireless broadband. Dialog between Apple and Qualcomm is described as limited.

Qualcomm’s 5G modem chips offer more specialized carrier features (like “Uplink Carrier Aggregation“), but our source says that many will not be widely adopted by carriers. Apple engineers believe that Intel’s 5G modem will fit its requirements for a future iPhone.

While Intel has lagged behind Qualcomm in modem technology, it purportedly has a small army numbering in the 'multiple thousands' working on 5G. Landing Apple's orders for the iPhone is considered a 'must-win' for the company.
