- A new report suggests that the iPhone 17 will not get Apple’s new C1 modem
- The air of the iPhone 17 is however to obtain the new chip
- Apple can opt for a mediatek modem for the four main models iPhone 17
With each new generation of iPhone, we expect to see Apple adapting to its high -end flagship phones with its latest and best features – for example, we expect the iPhone 17 pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are equipped with updated video capabilities, an updated design and a faster processor, as well as the most sharp components of the phone itself.
However, a new rumor suggests that Apple will jump its latest self -designed internal component with regard to the family of the iPhone 17 – if this rumor is true, the next Apple handsets will not get its new C1 C1 MODEM C1 .
This comes from a report on the publication of information (via Phonearena) which suggests that the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will use a mediatek 5g chip for Wi- FI, cell connectivity and Bluetooth, rather than the Qualcomm modem found in the iPhone 16 range.
Modem C1 has only been revealed recently when Apple was starting on the iPhone 16th, the first Apple device to display Apple’s new modem.
Interestingly, the report also suggests that iPhone 17 air will Get the C1 chip and that this inclusion will play a substantial role by allowing the air of the iPhone 17 to be so thin than its large brothers and sisters.
Apple is looking for means to reduce its dependence on manufacturers of external components for a few years, especially by developing its own chips and chipsets.
If Apple has a rival in the space of mobile fleas, it would surely be Qualcomm, which equips many of the best Android phones with its Snapdragon serial chipsets. Its current flagship processor, The Snapdragon 8 Elite, beat Apple’s A18 Pro Chipset in reference when we managed to enter them last year.
From this point of view, it is logical that Apple wants to stop giving Qualcomm its activity – although Apple is not unrelated to the purchase of components from rival companies, equipping the range of iPhone with panels and Many parts made by Samsung.
In any case, most users will not notice a big difference between a modem or the other-but limit a major major material feature to a mid-range phone and an ultra-thin spin-off would be strange behavior of Apple. In addition, like the 9TO5MAC note, the C1 chipset may not stay long – we heard that Apple finally plans to merge the function of the C1 with its main standard chipsets has to create an integrated platform.
In any case, we do not expect to hear official information on the iPhone 17 family until much later this year. Until then, the above is mainly based on rumors-be sure to consult our list of the best iPhones for a refreshment on the upper Apple handsets which are currently available.
