Apple quietly adopted the “C1” modem chip, which was made in-house from the iPhone 16e, and in response to this, the CEO of Qualcomm, which has previously supplied modem chips to iPhones, commented to US media CNBC.
Is Qualcomm’s chip much different from Apple’s?
Qualcomm has just announced its latest modem chip, the Snapdragon X85 5G, and CEO Cristiano Amon has expressed his opinion on this chip.
Comparing what Qualcomm can do with what Apple is doing, there is a big difference in the performance of premium Android devices and iOS devices.
The first modem with many AIs
Qualcomm CEO Amon said the Snapdragon X85 5G is the first modem to have so many AIs, and is now able to handle even weaker signals.
He says that modems will become more important than ever in the AI era, and he argues Qualcomm’s advantage, saying that the question is whether or not they will always want the best modem from a computer they have (like smartphones) that they always have.
The C1 chip is characterized by its energy savings
We know that Apple’s in-house C1 modem chips are not compatible with millimeter-wave 5G, but the most attractive feature is its energy savings.
I think that the difference between Qualcomm’s latest modem chip and Apple chip will be revealed in YouTuber’s demonstration videos in the future.
