Hello everyone, today Xiaobian has come to share the latest information with you. January 10 news, according to relevant reports, Apple is establishing a closer cooperative relationship with TSMC, hoping to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm, planning to let TSMC produce iPhone 5G baseband from 2023, let's take a look at it with The editor.
According to the latest news from the supply chain, apple will use self-developed baseband chips next year in order to reduce the demand for Qualcomm, and TSMC is still their exclusive foundry, which will use the 5nm process and have an annual production capacity of 120,000 pieces.
Previously, Qualcomm has hinted that Apple's self-developed baseband will soon be put into use, and they have also hinted that its share of iPhone baseband orders will drop to about 20% in 2023.
It is worth mentioning that Apple actually opened the development of self-developed baseband as early as the acquisition of Intel's baseband business, but the news said that Apple hopes to launch a "high-end baseband", whose performance will far exceed Qualcomm products, so the research and development cycle is long and cannot be applied in the short term.
Previously, some industry analysts said that Apple's own 5G baseband chip may debut in the 2023 iPhone model.
Well, that's all there is to it, so you're welcome to leave a message in the comments section below.
