Apple developing their own internal modems provides a competitive advantage even before it’s released. It applies competitive pressure to Qualcomm to accelerate development. Actually just the threat of Apple switching to its own modems probably provides more pressure than Apple releasing sh*tty modems.

    Qualcomm is fine.

    ​

    They saw how well it went last time Apple tried to use different modems. The Intel modem on the GSM Iphone 7 was so bad, it turned me into a Android user.

    ​

    Even companies as big as Google, and Samsung cannot get away from QC. The Pixel 8 is a joke for reception vs a phone with a proper QC modem.
