In recent years, Apple first produced products made by an in-house 5G modem developed by Qualcomm. This modem is not available for today’s iPhones, it is compatible with Macs and VR headsets with 5G connectivity.

First, for today, Apple launched the iPhone 19 in January 2027 with an ARM chip with a built-in 5G modem, and the Qualcomm modem is now available. In the coming months, Apple created the first product with an internal 5G modem connected, which now works separately from the ARM processor.

Handling the iPhone SE 4 on vacation and the iPhone 17 Air on vacation is possible. As Bloomberg did, this Apple modem is located on the square and near a 5G modem from Qualcomm, this modem is a green from here, while the Apple iPhone 17 Air is there. Bloomberg editor-in-chief Mark Gurman said that the iPhone owner had a size of 2 millimeters like an iPhone 16 Pro (around 1,140 euros on Amazon), which only had a size of 6, 3 millimeters.

Apple offers solutions for MacBooks with a connected 5G modem, which will arrive until January 2026, when a second generation modem will have better performance. This timing is planned for the launch of the MacBook Pro with a new design and a past OLED screen. A new generation of Apple Vision Pro is now equipped with a compatible Apple 5G modem, enabling the next generation of iPad of the same generation. Laut Bloomberg said that Apple still has a plan to use the LTE modem in the Apple Watch through the high-end 5G modem.
