Next iPhone may pack LTE modem from Intel<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>According to a new report, Intel is ramping up efforts to get its LTE modem chips inside of the next iPhone. <!--break--> And if true, Intel appears to be quite serious in its push. From
VentureBeat:</p>
<p>Intel now has a thousand people or more working to outfit a 2016 iPhone with its lauded 7360 LTE modem chip, sources say. If all goes well, Intel may end up providing both the modem and the fabrication for a new Apple system on a chip.</p>
<p>The report goes on to mention that, although Apple hasn't yet signed an agreement with Intel to provide LTE modem chips in the next iPhone, it may very well dual-source modems for the iPhone 7 from Intel and, current supplier, Qualcomm.</p> <p>This isn't the first time we've heard rumblings of an Intel LTE modem making its way into the iPhone. In 2013, for example, a
report detailed that Apple was looking for alternate suppliers for its radio chips. Then, earlier this year, a similar rumor popped up stating that Intel would
provide a modem chip for the 2016 iPhone. While nothing is certain, and we're still a ways off from seeing anything concrete regarding an iPhone 7, such a move would represent a big blow to Qualcomm, which has been Apple's go-to supplier for the last several years.</p> <p>Source:
