The iPhone 13 Will Have Another Apple-Made Component

According to the latest report from DigiTimes, the upcoming iPhone 13 line of smartphones may be equipped with mmWave Antenna in Package (AiP) modules from Apple.
The proprietary mmWave 5G AiP module is reportedly replacing Qualcomm’s third-party 5G modem. According to some insiders, the iPad Pro, which is preparing for release in 2021, can also be equipped with the “apple” module.
In 2019, Apple acquired most of Intel’s smartphone modem business. The deal was valued at $ 1 billion.
This news contradicts the information that Apple will use Qualcomm modems in its “apple” gadgets until 2024. Phonearena spoke about this in October. Recall that the iPhone 12 smartphones received the Snapdragon X55 modem.
Therefore, a new leak should be treated with some degree of skepticism.
What can the introduction of Apple modems bring to the average user, in addition to the changed specifications. In theory, the use of proprietary components should be the reason for reducing the cost and, as a result, the final price for iPhone smartphones. But in practice, in terms of price, nothing may change.
The next iPad Pro and iPhone 13 could include Apple-made mmWave modules 😉https://t.co/ZxMoIr0oL8 pic.twitter.com/n1aNmdJlMT
