Apple Is Developing A Faster “Refreshed” C1 Modem With mmWave Support And Further Enhancements In Efficiency, Which Could Be Expanded To New Products

Apple's in-house modem has received positive reviews, but it is still slower than the modems supplied by Qualcomm for the flagship iPhone 16 models. However, the fact that it is the company's entry into the modem industry indicates that Apple has something up its sleeve that could shake up the industry, as we have seen with the M series of chips. A new report claims that Apple is working on a "refreshed" version of the C1 modem, potentially for next year's iPhone

Here’s why the C1 chip doesn’t have mmWave 5G, says Kuo

Apple’s first modem, the C1 chip , had one notable omission: there’s no support for mmWave 5G, the ultra-fast variant of 5G .

While I expressed my view at the time that this was no big deal , given that there’s been very limited rollout by carriers, it seems there may be a very specific reason for the decision …

Given Apple’s ability to design Mac processors that have left Intel ones in the dust, you might think that designing a radio
