Apple 5G Cellular Modem will Debut in iPhone 2023 Models
The brand new custom 5G cellular modem from Apple is now scheduled to be released on all new 2023 iPhone phones. Barclays analyst Thomas O’Malley and Blayne Curtis have reportedly provided this detail.
2023 iPhones 5G Cellular Modems
In a new supplier-focused research note that was shared with MacRumors on Thursday, March 11, from which the story comes from, the analyst has indicated that the Broadcom and Qorvo chip-makers are two of the firms that could prosper from Apple’s in-house solution decision. This transition may be Apple’s last part, as opposed to the outsourcing from other producers, the company wanted to make internally.

Mark Sullivan from Fast Company and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman are two of the numerous outlets that have allegedly said that Apple is already focusing on its own modem for the upcoming 2023 company iPhones. The production allegedly began in 2020 and was achieved after the acquisition by Apple of the majority of the very own mobile modem company of Intel a year ago, to boost its own efforts.
Switch from Snapdragon
Barclays has already confirmed that all sub-6GHz, as well as 5G mmWave frequencies, are supported by the modem as most predict. Apple also uses Qualcomm modems from that moment on. The new Snapdragon X55 modem used by iPhone 12 models will be included.
By 2019, the firm announced the latest legal settlement between Qualcomm and apple that the new Snapdragon X60 modem is most probably used in the iPhones of 2021. The Snapdragon X65 modem used in 2022 iPhones will also have adopted this.
5G cellular modem with TSMC
However, the latest roadmap listed all of the potential use of any unannounced Snapdragon X70 modem on the upcoming 2023 iPhone. This seems a little less plausible, however. In fact. It is most likely that Apple’s forthcoming modems will come from the company’s long-standing chip manufacturer, TSMC.
The world was surprised when Apple abruptly unveiled its new M1 chips and planned to avoid using Intel processors. Apple was formerly one of Intel’s biggest customers and with its absence, along with the growing demand from AMD which one by one dominates the CPUs, Intel finds it harder to do so.

Apple M1 vs Intel
According to a previous article by MacWorld UK, however, Intel benchmarks have shown that Intel Core i7-118567 CPUs could not top the Apple M1. However, former Macworld publisher and columnist Jason Snell actually criticized Intel’s testing in a SixColors statement as purposely not welcoming to M1. Though AMD and Intel once were two of the only competitive CPU producers, Apple now appears to have recently entered the scene.
