Apple is working on a new technology that should arrive in just two years. Find out the details!
The iPhone 15 hasn't even been released yet, but there's already speculation about the iPhone 17, which won't be released until 2025, two years from now. Apple has been planning for years to stop relying on suppliers and invest in its own 5G connectivity modem. According to information published by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPhones launched in 2025 could feature the solution, developed by the company itself.
The analyst didn't give many details about Apple's plan. He recently said that the fourth-generation iPhone SE has been delayed until 2025 so that it can reach users with the exclusive 5G modem.

Apple 5G
If the analyst is indeed right, Apple's first device with its own technology of 5G it will be the iPhone SE, which is usually presented during the first half of the year, a few months before the announcement of the main line of cell phones, which in 2025 should be the iPhone 17.
However, if the network performance tests fall short of what the company expected, the iPhone SE 4 may only be introduced in 2026 or later.
For some years now, Apple has relied on Qualcomm modems to implement the technologies in its phones. In 2017, the company sued Qualcomm for anti-competitive practices, which may have soured the relationship between the two companies.
In 2019, Apple bought Intel's modem division for one billion dollars to advance development and distance itself from Qualcomm. This was the company's second largest acquisition, behind the purchase of Beats in 2014, for three billion dollars.
The arrival of Apple's own modems should offer even more stable connectivity and better performance, but it is uncertain whether the costs of this implementation in the iPhone will be reduced.
iPhone 15
The new line of iPhones will be launched on September 12 in California. The event will be broadcast on the company's official YouTube channel starting at 2 pm, Brasília time. It is expected that in addition to the new 15th generation cell phones, the company will also launch iOS 17 and the new smartwatches in the Apple Watch line.
The event invitation, sent by the brand, shows the company's logo in blue, black and gray, which could suggest the colors of the new iPhones. It is expected that the new phones will not have many changes in their appearance, but it is possible that all models will feature Dynamic Island technology, which is present in the Pro and Pro Max versions of the iPhone 14.
One of the most anticipated models by consumers in this generation is the iPhone 15 Pro Max Ultra, which should be the most powerful and most expensive cell phone ever sold by the company to date. According to speculation, the cell phone will have more memory and a new charging connector, similar to USB-C.
In addition, it should also arrive equipped with the A17 Bionic processor, which is one of the most powerful on the market, presenting a great improvement over the previous one, the A16. The main camera of this model should have 48 MP, in addition to a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 12 MP telephoto sensor with 10x optical zoom.
