Support for 5G networks will soon be an absolute standard for smartphones. The lion's share of this will also be Qualcomm, which is trying to come up with high-quality mobile 5G modems in the long term, which will enable the reception of high-speed networks. This manufacturer came up with another interesting piece just a few hours ago and it must be noted that the world was really interested in it.

The new 5G modem from Qualcomm is called the X60 and is a direct successor to the currently produced X55 modem. While the X55 is built on a 7nm process, the new X60 is built on a 5nm process, which, according to the manufacturer, makes it very energy-efficient and also boasts miniThese features are guaranteed to please even the owner himself. Apple, which concluded a long-term contract with Qualcomm for the supply of 5G modems. Thanks to the new modem, his iPhones will theoretically be able to offer longer endurance, as they will have to provide him with less energy, but they will also have space to increase the batteries thanks to the saved space.
Although the new X60 modem was introduced in early 2020, Qualcomm said that the first smartphones will be equipped with it only at the beginning of next year. We will probably see it in iPhonech 13, as it seems quite unlikely that Qualcomm would be able to introduce a new generation to their lineup, given how long modem development takes. If then Apple plans to release one of its iPhones next spring as well (for example, the successor to the iPhone 9), the new modem could also appear in it. However, this is really just speculation.

A short-term thing?
Although it is Apple has agreed on a long-term cooperation with Qualcomm regarding 5G modems, it has been rumored for quite some time that it is already working on its own modem in its workshops. Thanks to it, it should completely separate itself from Qualcomm in the future, which should bring it, among other things, decent financial savings. However, the development of 5G modems is very demanding and AppIt will take a good few more years.
