MediaTek angling for future iPhone 5G modem orders, enters HomePod supply chain in meantime

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/iphone-x-bezels.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500)</div><p>MediaTek is a possible alternative modem manufacturer Apple is considering for future iPhones. Amidst its disputes with Qualcomm over patent royalties, Apple has turned to Intel to reduce Qualcomm’s market share over iPhone modems. However, it has been reported (https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/30/iphone-ipad-without-qualcomm/) that Apple is also considering to bring MediaTek onboard as a second supplier.</p>
<p>Digitimes says that Apple (https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20180702PD210.html) is yet to commit to orders with MediaTek. For the 2018 iPhone lineup, Apple is currently expected (https://9to5mac.com/2018/04/25/qualcomm-modem-orders-2018-iphone/) to source about 70% of modems from Intel, with Qualcomm receiving the minor share of orders.</p>
