Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen South China Wu Yanzu for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com March 15 news, according to DigiTimes reports, including ASE Technology and Amkor Technology two companies, a number of OSAT manufacturers are competing for Apple iPhone SE 4 package 5G modem chip business.

CTOnews.com learned from the report that both companies mentioned in the report have experience packaging 5G communication modules for Qualcomm. It is unclear whether Apple's self-developed 5G chip performance can rival Qualcomm chips. For the foreseeable future, Apple will step up its own research efforts to reduce production costs.

Qualcomm CEO Ammon recently said at MWC 2023 that Apple may be equipped with homemade 5G modem chips in the iPhone 16 series, and the industry expects TSMC to take orders for 3 nm wafer foundry.

Previously, supply chain manufacturers said Apple's self-made 5G modem chip research and development code is Ibiza, will adopt TSMC 3 nm process, supporting RF IC will adopt TSMC 7 nm process, the industry is expected to introduce Apple's iPhone 16 series mobile phone launched in 2024 at this stage.
