Apple’s next-gen modem could lead to slimmer iPhones and cellular MacBooks: Report

Live Mint  

Apple is reportedly making significant strides towards the development of a groundbreaking in-house modem, which is poised to reshape its product line-up. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the new modem, codenamed "Sinope," is set to replace the Qualcomm chips currently used in iPhones, promising improved power efficiency and a more compact design. Reports suggest that the new component could enable innovative designs, including foldable iPhones, marking Apple’s entry into a segment currently led by rival manufacturers. Interestingly, while the modem may eventually feature in a broad range of Apple devices, there are currently no confirmed plans for its use in Apple Watch models. If these reports are accurate, Apple’s new modem could not only allow for slimmer and more efficient devices but also revolutionise its product ecosystem, solidifying its position as a leader in innovation.
