Qualcomm's decision is also important for Apple. Although Apple has started developing its own 5G modems, it continues to use Qualcomm modems in the iPhone 17 family.
It is expected that Apple will discontinue the iPhone 17 Pro series after the release of the iPhone 18 Pro models. The standard iPhone 17 may remain in the product range. Therefore, Qualcomm's new prices may continue to affect the costs of some of Apple's models.
Apple is using its own modems in more devices to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm. The iPhone 17e and iPhone Air models feature the company's C1X modem.
According to leaks, Apple may switch to the new C2 modem in some versions of the iPhone 18 Pro and the foldable iPhone. It is stated that the company aims to offer higher 5G speeds with this modem. However, according to leaked documents, Apple may continue to use Qualcomm modems in some iPhone 18 Pro models that it will sell in the US.
