While the iPhone Air is equipped with Apple’s custom C1X modem for cellular connectivity, all of the iPhone 17 models are outfitted with Qualcomm modems still.
A teardown shared on Chinese platform Bilibili today appears to confirm the iPhone 17 Pro Max is equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X80 modem in particular. The same modem is likely used in the iPhone 17 Pro and the regular iPhone 17.
iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to use Apple’s custom C2 modem.
