Apple Marking in the world of wireless chips, but his new modem will not be widespread as he was initially believed, according to analyst Ming Che Ko. while The iPhone 17 will witness improvements in wireless technology, which is expected to use only one model C1 from Apple. This news comes at the time when Apple reduces its dependence on Qualcomm for modem. The iPhone 16e has seen the introduction of the Apple C1 modem, designed to replace Qualcomm versions at the end. However, it seems to be a majority iPhone 17 The models, specifically standard 17, Pro and Pro Max, are likely to adhere to the Qualcomm Model at the present time. KUO information, shared on X, indicates that "only" indicatesThe iPhone 17 Air "will integrate the C1 modem.

The reason for this limited operation can be the current lack of MMWAVE support for C1. While it works with 5G Sub-6 GHz domains, He cannot handle the fastest MMWAVE technology. This means that Apple cannot claim as quickly as possible for all iPhone devices if they use this modem. This is compatible with the previous one The report from December that the Apple strategy was to publish its own modem first in the lowest devices. Future versions of the C1 MMWAVE and other improvements are expected to include the fully transition via the iPhone by 2027. iPhone 17 The series will get a new Wi -Fi chip inside the house. This KUO also shift will bring several advantages to Apple. By replacing Wi-Fi chips in Broadcom, Apple can reduce costs. In addition, this new slide, called "Proxima" internally, is designed to improve connection between Apple devices. We may see this slide in the updated versions of HomePod Mini and Apple TV later in 2025, perhaps before iPhone 17 It is released.

This new Wi-Fi chip is an important step for Apple. It does not only allow costs to save but also provides more strict integration within the Apple ecosystem. It can mean improved devices with more smooth nodes between iPhone, iPads, MACS and other Apple products.
