Intel hints that it could still provide 5G modems for the iPhone

In recent years, Apple has been relying more on Intel as a provider of LTE modems for iPhone. This, of course, should not come as a surprise given Apple's willingness to source components from different vendors, not to mention Apple's legal wrangling with Qualcomm over royalty payments.

Although Intel still has a partnership with Apple, a report earlier this week relayed that the aforementioned partnership could end sooner rather than later. Specifically, a report released from Israel alleged that Apple had chosen not to provide 5G modems to Intel for future iPhone models. In addition, the report alleges that Intel, as a result, completely stopped the development of its 5G modem

Now, what this means for the company's relationship with Apple remains to everyone. What we do know is that, historically speaking, Apple does not think about losing long-term component vendors in response to performance and price changes. Example: There are rumors that Apple plans to replace Intel chips in its Mac series with processors designed by Apple as early as 2020.
