It’s been previously reported that the Apple-built 5G modem would come in 2025. Whenever it comes, the modem will replace the Qualcomm ones that Apple currently buys in.
According to Digitimes Asia, the Apple modem will appear first in the forthcoming iPhone SE 4 — and then in select models of the iPhone 17 range. Although the report does not specify which models, it’s almost certainly going to be the regular editions, instead of the Pro ones.
