This implies that Apple's supplier Broadcom will continue providing Wi-Fi chips for them in the near future, including chips for models set to launch in 2023.
Information about Apple working on Wi-Fi chips first emerged earlier this month when Bloomberg's Mark Gurman stated that the company is developing a combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip to replace components sourced from Broadcom. At that time, Gurman mentioned that Apple is aiming to transition to using its own chips starting from 2024, replacing Broadcom components by 2025.
It is known that Apple is also developing its own 5G modem chip. Apple's ultimate goal is to manufacture more crucial iPhone components in-house, reducing dependence on third-party companies.
Ultimately, Apple aims to create a single chip combining the functions of a mobile modem, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Simultaneously, the company is striving to replace the radio frequency and wireless charging chips they currently purchase from Qualcomm.
However, according to Kuo's sharing, Apple seems to be exclusively developing a chip dedicated to Wi-Fi connectivity. This analyst suggests that Apple has not yet been able to develop a combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip. Let's wait and see!
