CSLA Securities analyst Srin Pajjuri has reaffirmed different reports that Intel will provide part of the LTE modem chips for the iPhone. 7 This emerges from a recent report.
How NDTV reports and refers to Pajjuri, Intel was able to secure a portion of the LTE chip orders for the iPhone 7 from Apple. It is said that Intel will use between 30 and 40 percent of the required LTE chips. The remaining amount to be covered by Qualcomm.
While Apple is looking to cut some reliance on Qualcomm, the company doesn’t plan to completely turn away from the chipmaker. On the contrary, the analyst believes that the company will „share shift back“ to Qualcomm in 2017.
Apple would in future go double track to be dependent not only on Qualcomm in LTE chips. Currently, Apple controls all LTE chip from Qulcomm, so also the MDM9625 the iPhone 6S. Last year it was said that Intel with 1,000 engineers is working, the Intel 7360 LTE chip prepare for the iPhone. 7 The 7360 LTE modem provides higher download speeds of up to 450Mbps and upload speeds of up to 100Mbps, and supports LTE Category 10 and 29 LTE bands, so Macrumors .
Currently Apple is the iPhone 6S (Plus) on a LTE chip, which allows a maximum of 300Mbps. Should Apple use the new chip, the theoretical download speed would increase. Sooner or later might develop a system on a chip, which also includes an LTE chip next to the A-processor Apple. This method ensures better performance and a better power management.
