Recently, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared information that the iPhone 17 generation will use the Wi-Fi 7 chip developed by Apple itself.
According to Kuo, the iPhone 17 generation and Apple devices launched from late 2025 will have its own Wi-Fi 7 chip, this is part of the shift away from third-party suppliers.
The iPhone 17 generation will be equipped with WiFi 7 chip developed by Apple itself. |
This chip will replace the Broadcom chip that Apple is using for WiFi and Bluetooth. Previous leaks also revealed that Apple's WiFi 7 chip will be manufactured on TSMC's 7nm process.
In addition, Apple is also said to be researching 5G chips and will start using them on its products from next year. Accordingly, the iPhone SE 4 will be the first device of the "Apple" to integrate a 5G chip researched by the company itself.
Apple is also using a factory in India to carry out initial production for the iPhone 17 generation, according to The Information.
The first stage in the product development process typically takes place between May and October. During this stage, Apple seeks to turn a prototype designed at its Cupertino headquarters into a tangible product that can be manufactured on a large scale.
Previously, this stage was only carried out in factories in China. This is the first time that Apple has implemented this process in India. The move shows a big step by the iPhone maker in reducing its dependence on factories in China.
Apple currently uses Broadcom Wi-Fi chips, and both companies are involved in a dispute with Caltech. A court previously fined Apple $838 million and Broadcom $270 million for Wi-Fi patent infringement, but the lawsuits were dismissed after the parties reached a settlement.
