Apple is allegedly planning on creating an in-house 6G modem

Although the company hasn't had much luck with it, Apple has been working on an internal 5G modem for some time. Over time, this will yield greater financial benefits for Apple.

Apple has been developing an internal 5G modem for a while, but the company hasn't had much success with it. As a result, Qualcomm currently provides the 5G modem for iPads and iPhones. In addition to continuing to create an inside 5G device, the company is believed to be working on an internal 6G modem, according to a Bloomberg story.

According to Mark Gurman's PowerOn newsletter, since 2021, the company has been working on a 6G modem. It will be at least 2030 before 6G becomes widely available, Apple has plenty of time to develop, test, and perfect its own 6G technology. This will give Apple more financial rewards in the long run, as well as more control over its equipment and increased self-sufficiency. 

Modern cellphones are not complete without modems, which are difficult to develop and need to be tested globally. After Apple has built the semiconductors for Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and other products, the modem is the last part that needs to be added. In terms of latency and speed, 6G is expected to outperform 5G, providing significantly quicker data transmission rates. With theoretical uplink speeds of up to 11 Gbps, 6G promises to revolutionize the way people operate laptops, tablets, and other connected gadgets.
