Last week, the iPhone 16e was launched, the first to feature Apple's own C1 modem. This is Apple's second attempt to use a non-Qualcomm chip in its products. However, unlike the Snapdragon chip, the modem is not integrated into the device's A18 processor chip. So, what should you know about it?
According to Bloomberg, Apple's modems will only be integrated into Apple's chips by 2028. This is because the performance of the C1 is still not as good as the Snapdragon modem. The most notable example is that the iPhone 16e does not support 5G mmWave networks.
Moreover, the C2 and C3 may not be integrated into the processor chip. They will be packaged once into Apple's A and M series processor chips only after satisfactory performance is achieved. The integration of all modems into the SOC will reduce power consumption leading to better battery life. The iPhone 16e is marketed as a 6.1″ device with the best battery life Apple has ever offered.
