Apple's homegrown 5G baseband Modem chip for the iPhone appears to be a flop

In the field of self-developed chips, Apple has been unbeaten almost since its debut. The A-series SoC built for iPhone far outperforms its rivals in performance and energy efficiency. The M-series SoC for the Mac, which debuted as a rival to the flagships of Intel and Nvidia, is surprisingly energy efficient.

After many victories, Apple's next destination has no need to say - baseband chip. Analysts expect Apple to have full access to homegrown basebands as soon as 2023.

Unexpectedly, Apple encountered a setback at this time.
