Go Qualcomm resolutely! The iPhone 15 may all be equipped with Apple's self-developed chips

On the road to Qualcomm, Apple has not stopped.

Recently, Taiwan's Business Times quoted supply chain news that the iPhone 15 to be released in 2023 will all use Apple's self-developed chips for the first time, in addition to the A17 will use TSMC 3nm process, its self-developed 5G baseband chip will also use TSMC 5nm, and the self-developed RF IC will use TSMC 7nm process.

According to the news, apple's self-developed 5G baseband chip and supporting RADIO frequency IC have been designed and completed, and trial production and sample delivery will be carried out in the near future, and it is expected to be put into production in 2023.

It is reported that the iPhone 14 released in 2022 will still use Qualcomm's X65 baseband to transition.

In fact, Apple's "de-Qualcomm" determination has not stopped to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm and reduce the cost of patent fees. To this end, he did not hesitate to fight with Qualcomm and started a litigation war for many years.

Since 2016, Apple has been interested in cultivating Intel baseband chips. In 2019, Apple acquired Intel's mobile phone baseband chip division for $1 billion and obtained 8,500 cellular patents and connected device patents.

Although Intel's baseband signal reputation was widely criticized later, it also accumulated a large number of technical patents and research and development experience for Apple.

And now the news that the iPhone 15 will all use self-developed chips undoubtedly confirms Apple's determination to go to Qualcomm. (Text: Fast Technology)
