The arrival of the iPhone 16th allowed Apple to launch a brand new component in its smartphones:MODEM C1. The Cupertino firm has spent billions of dollars on this little chip, working on it since, at least, 2020. 5 years of hard work that finally paid, the modem being, at first glance, a great success.
Apple had already given us the "homemade chips»With the house processors of the M series on the Mac. Launched in November 2020, these chips today imposed themselves as the absolute reference in terms of power, but also in energy saving.
With Modem C1, the apple brand has the same ambitions, but for its portable devices. According to the Chinese Laboratory Geekerwan, the first tests carried out on the iPhone 16th demonstrate proper functioning of the whole. Cell -connections are as good as on the iPhone 16, with much better energy efficiency.
Apple assures thatThis economy will be around 25 %And the first tests seem to prove the apple right. Apple's trade affirmations would once again be very close to reality. After all, the Cupertino firm is rather known to give figures very close to the tests carried out subsequently under "classic" conditions.
C1: Soon a banality?
The proper functioning of the C1 chip is very good news for Apple. After introducing this modem to the iPhone 16th, Apple could therefore add it to other iPhone, such as future iPhone 17,17 Air, Pro and pro max. Telephones, expected for the month of September, could thus gain even more independent.
By producing its own modem, Apple also gains independence from Qualcomm. The other Californian giant therefore loses a large customer, but he can console himself with the development of other manufacturers. They will almost all use its new Snapdragon Gen 8 chips.
