The US chipmaker said the signing of the agreement will further demonstrate the company's continued leadership in 5G technology and products. Qualcomm will continue to be the sole supplier of 5G chips for Apple's iPhones until 2026, according to a recent report.

Currently, Apple's iPhone uses Qualcomm's 5G chips. But for a long time, Apple has been trying to develop its own 5G chips to get rid of its dependence on Qualcomm. However, due to the complexity of 5G chips, Apple faces certain challenges to get rid of Qualcomm's chips. The deal suggests that Apple's plans to develop its own modem chips may take longer than expected. Apple bought Intel's modem business in 2019 with the aim of eventually producing its own 5G chips. However, the latest agreement suggests that Apple's in-house 5G modem may not be ready until 2026 at the earliest.

With the news that Qualcomm and Apple have reached another cooperation, This means that the upcoming iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPhone 17 and even iPhone 18 series of new phones (if the naming rules remain unchanged) are still likely to use Qualcomm 5G modems. This extended partnership with Qualcomm is expected to ensure the smooth rollout of 5G on future iPhone models.
