Apple has been working on its cellular modems for years, investing billions into an effort to break its dependence on Qualcomm. Still, it has been a pretty ambitious and difficult project because of the process complexity of substituting Qualcomm's intricate modem components. The plan for releasing its in-house 5G chips, targeted for 2024, got pushed again to 2025. Even that timeline is uncertain. The latest reports continue to push the timeline for when the company's proprietary modem may be ready into the end of 2025 or early 2026, coinciding with the end of its recently extended contract with Qualcomm.
