Apple recently unveiled its first in-house cellular modem, the C1, during the launch of the iPhone 16e. Although details were sparse, the device is recognized as the most power-efficient modem in its line. Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to eventually integrate modems into the main processors, enhancing efficiency although it won't be realized until at least 2028. The iPhone 16e, priced at $599, features an A18 chip and is positioned as a mid-range smartphone, showcasing the new modem but may not align entirely with consumer expectations.
