iPhone 6C they are going to use a chip Intel, the American company managing to reach an apparent agreement with Apple to supply this component for the future smartphone that should reach the market at the beginning of this year.
According to some sources inside Apple's distribution chain, Intel would provide the modem chip that facilitates the GSM connectivity of the iPhone 6C, which would be the basis of telephone calls and Internet browsing using the future terminal of the Apple company.
Intel XMM 7260 / XMM 7262 / XMM 7360 are the modem chips that the Apple company could implement in the iPhone 6C, the latter being the most performing, but its adoption is conditioned by the reduction of the price charged by Intel for sale.
Intel and Apple have been collaborating for some time on the development of modem chips for implementation in smartphones, despite the fact that Apple uses Qualcomm's modem chips in its iPhones and iPads, rumors about a partnership with Intel exist for years.
Intel will be under the bonnet of the next generation iPhone C with its modem design. Intel has reached an agreement to build its wireless modem inside the consumer version of the iPhone. The company has a few modems that Apple might want. The most likely choice is the Intel XMM 7260 / XMM 7262 slim modems with LTA Advanced support. Both modems support Cat. 6 LTE-Advanced, 22 bands at 300 Mb/s including world support.
Choosing the iPhone 6C to implement an Intel modem is logical because Apple will want to test this component on a less important smartphone, its implementation in iPhone 7 being extremely problematic, if he will not be without problems.
If the implementation of this Intel model chip in the iPhone 6C turns out to be successful, then Apple could extend the collaboration with Intel to its high-end smartphones, so it will be interesting to see how the collaboration could evolve.
