Apple has its own chip for iPhone, iPad and Mac laptops.
Now, a company based in Cupertino plans to bring the 5G modem chip itself for the iPhone.
According to the Bloomberg report, Apple employs engineers for new offices in South California to develop wireless chips which will eventually replace the components provided by the Solution Broadcom and SkyWorks.
At present, all chips designed by Apple are produced by Taiwan (TSMC) semiconductor manufacturing companies.
Casting is expected to build a 5G modem chip designed by Apple.
According to Bloomberg reports, iPhone makers also plan to design chips for Wi-Fi connectivity.
The company is looking for several dozen people to develop wireless chips in Irvine, where Broadcom, SkyWorks and other companies have offices, the report said.
“Apple’s developing wireless silicone development team is developing the next generation of wireless silicon!,” Reading one of the job advertisements posted by Apple.
While other advertisements state that employees will be in the center of the wireless SOC design group with a critical impact on the Sophisticated Apple wireless connectivity solution to hundreds of millions of products.
The idea of ​​developing WiFi and 5G chips itself is said to be part of a larger company strategy to expand the satellite office.
The technology giant aims to target engineering hotbeds and attract employees who may not want to work at the base in Silicon Valley.
It will also advance the purpose of Apple to make more components itself.
Most Apple devices include iPhone, iPad, Mac, Airpods, and Apple Watch comes with special parts that allow devices to be paired with other Apple products.
Apple is expected to design 5G chips and new WiFi from 2023.
Apple and Broadcom have a $ 15 billion deal for wireless components that run through 2023.
