Apple to Introduce Separate 5G and Wi-Fi 7 Chips in iPhone 17

Apple's iPhone 17 will feature distinct in-house chips for 5G and Wi-Fi, marking a shift from current combined solutions.

  • Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo confirms that the iPhone 17 will include an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip.
  • The new Wi-Fi 7 chip will be manufactured using TSMC's N7 process, offering faster speeds and improved connectivity.
  • Apple's 5G and Wi-Fi chips will be separate, contradicting earlier reports of an all-in-one chip solution.
  • The iPhone SE 4, expected in March, will use an Apple 5G modem but continue with a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.
  • Apple aims to integrate its Wi-Fi chip across nearly all products within three years to reduce costs and enhance integration.
