Apple reportedly working with Intel to put 5G modem in future iPhones

An iPhone with a 5G modem would theoretically be capable of connection speeds of one gigabit per second or more, but the industry's transition to support 5G will take some time. The report suggests that Intel could supply a 5G modem for an iPhone debuting in 2019 or 2020.Apple started using Intel chips in iPhones with the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus and is using a combination of Qualcomm and Intel chips in the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus that debuted in September. Signs point to Apple moving away from Qualcomm chips entirely, removing them from iPhones and iPads and relying on Intel chips and possibly those made by MediaTek.Apple and Qualcomm have been feuding since the beginning of the year, after Qualcomm began charging billions in royalty fees for technologies that Apple thinks the company "has nothing to do with." Apple stopped paying Qualcomm's fees, which resulted in Qualcomm filing several lawsuits against the iPhone maker and reportedly withholding software needed to test its chips on Apple devices.
