Egyptian News – Apple will use Intel modems in the 2018 iPhone, according to Qualcomm

Horizon News – Apple's quarrel with Qualcomm seems to have a major impact on the components used in the upcoming iPhone models this year, said George Davis, chief financial officer from Qualcomm. "Apple plans to use our competitor's modem only in place of our modems in the next version of the iPhone ," Davis said during a phone call this afternoon. [Davis Davis] did not mention Intel by name, but Intel is the only other provider of those who are competent for Apple smartphones.

This is accompanied by a report released earlier this month by KPI analyst Ming Chi-kyu Apple will release Qualcomm as its former cellular modem provider as a result of its legal dispute with the chip maker. With the launch of 4G, Apple began using both modems [Qualcomm and Intel, although Qualcomm has long been proud to provide faster components. This week, the company presented speed tests for the Snapdragon 845, demonstrating that its products are superior to Intel products, possibly to anticipate a negative reaction to Davis' announcement today. .

Apple and Qualcomm are currently in conflict. Apple's use of Qualcomm's technology and the amount that Chipmaker paid to Apple to use its components and patents. Apple first sued Qualcomm in early 2017 for charging additional fees for the use of an LTE modem, on Internet 9006] Qualcomm then filed a lawsuit claiming that Apple owes it more money in equity, and that the iPhone maker has violated some patents and information shared with Intel. Qualcomm also attempted to acquire several models of iPhone banned From the US sale, in vain

Since then, the two continued to prosecute against each other, official trade relations have completely deteriorated. More complicated is that Qualcomm expects to load 5G modems With its own hardware later this year, it is likely to start from n And Intel has publicly announced that it will not dispose of 5G chips before 2019.

It is also said that Apple is moving away from Intel components in other areas, such as Bluetooth chipsets and portable Wi-Fi. And the MacBook processors, although there is no indication that it will necessarily damage Apple's relationship with Intel on cellular modems. However, Apple can still use another partner like MediaTek, or there is a small chance to repair its relationship with Apple's Qualcomm estimated that it was missing the boat on the 5G, although that seems more and more more unlikely in these
