Apple's foray into in-house 5G modems aims to rival Qualcomm, overcoming technical setbacks since acquiring Intel's modem unit in 2019, with a roadmap for future innovation.
Despite challenges, the first Apple modem is expected in the iPhone SE, potentially evolving to include mmWave technology and satellite networks by 2027, marking a significant technological leap.
However, Apple’s initial modem may not match Qualcomm's speeds due to limitations like support for fewer carrier aggregations and lack of mmWave, which affects peak performance.
The new modem will introduce dual SIM standby capability for the iPhone SE, enabling users to manage two SIM cards simultaneously, a useful feature beyond speed.
