Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), decided to rush the release of a very important new feature for phones iPhone to fulfill an older goal for which he has spent a substantial amount of money up to now. Apple has spent $1 billion to buy Intel's division that develops mobile phone modems to fulfill its goal of integrating its own 5G modems into the iPhone, and is speeding up the process.
Apple has been working on 5G modems for the iPhone for several years, but it hasn't made much progress, so it bought the Intel division that was close to being able to launch one, and wants to improve the technology. Although in 2020 Apple will launch iPhones that will have support for 5G networks, Qualcomm modems are to be integrated in them, while Apple would like to use its own modems somewhere around 2023, at the latest.
Apple RUSHES Release of a MAJOR iPhone Feature
Apple aims for the first iPhones with its own modems to be launched in 2021, but industry experts say that the goal is far too bold for such a change. Even if Apple will have the component ready for the iPhone, it will go through a very complex testing process by the authorities, and here a lot of patience will be needed, because only then will it be possible to implement it in the iPhone.
"After buying Intel's 5G modem business earlier this year, Apple is wasting no time building its own 5G modem for the iPhone. The company is aiming to have its modem in the iPhone by 2022, a very aggressive timeline given all the development, testing and certification involved.”
Considering everything that Apple has to do to be able to launch these modes in iPhone phones, experts estimate that 2023 is a more correct estimate for the year in which we will see the first modem from Apple. Of course, everything depends very much on how Apple's engineers will succeed in carrying out their plans to bring 5G to the iPhone with a modem produced by them.
Having said that, Apple wants the first iPhone with its own 5G modem to appear in a maximum of 2 years, but 5G will reach Apple phones for the first time next year.
