Apple continues its efforts to develop 5G modems. In this context, a new agreement has been signed with Qualcomm.

The company is continuing its efforts to produce its own 5G modems, but so far, no ready-to-use product has been presented for use in an iPhone.

Apple plans to have its self-developed 5G modem ready by an estimated 2026. However, to avoid uncertainties regarding the delivery of a reliable product during this period, the new agreement with Qualcomm will remain in effect until March 2027. During this time, Apple will continue to use Qualcomm's 5G modem technology.
