#cellularmodem

According to a new report from The Information, Apple is actively building its own cellular modem chip for future iPhones. While the report is based on information ascertained from unnamed sources, it also relies on a new job posting that Apple published last week, which is focused on finding a cellular modem systems architect.

Citing unnamed source familiar with the cellular modem plans, the report claims that Apple has engineers working on the project close to its headquarters in Northern California. For several months, Apple has also been actively hiring engineers in San Diego, where the company has an office with a growing Wireless Architecture team. However, the report says that an Apple-made cellular modem could take as long as three years to land in an iPhone or other Apple devices.
