The first Apple modem is rumored to come to the iPhone SE before materializeing in the rumored iPhone “Slim” and entry-level iPads. Down the line, Apple is inestablishedly schedulening to roll out a second-generation modem with mmWave in 2026, putting it in the iPhone 18 line and higher-finish iPads. In 2027, Bloomberg inestablishs that Apple “hopes to top Qualcomm” with its “Prometheus” modem, which could help AI features and “next-generation sainestablishite netlabors.”
However, its first chip may drop low of Qualcomm’s in terms of the absolute highest possible speed for a couple of reasons: deficiencying help for the mmWave technology useable in some cities from carriers appreciate Verizon and helping four-carrier aggregation instead of six.
Those features raise the peak bandwidth useable to multiple gigabits per second, but speeds are typicpartner much cataloglesser in the genuine world, and the current iPhone SE also deficiencys mmWave help. The recent modem will, however, help dual SIM standby, apshowing people to have two vivacious SIM cards at the same time.
