Fast Company reported this week that people familiar with Apple's plans said an iPhone lineup using Intel's 8161 5G modem chip will be released in 2020, while Intel is testing the development of a chip called the 8060. However, the site adds that the development process has not been smooth sailing, especially with the heat generated by millimeter-wave signal processing:
“Wireless carriers including Verizon and AT&T in the U.S. will initially rely on millimeter-wave spectrum (between 30 gigahertz and 300 gigahertz) to connect 5G phones. But millimeter-wave signals require a lot of processing in modem chips, according to people familiar with the matter. , which causes the phone to release more heat than normal—a heat that can also be felt outside the phone.
This issue also affects battery life. The heat generated by the equipment parts is usually converted from the electricity in the battery. "
People familiar with the matter said Apple was very unhappy with Intel's progress in addressing the heat problem, although the problem was not enough to make Apple "re-negotiate with Qualcomm about the supply of 5G modems." (Apple and Qualcomm have been in a deep legal battle, so that's understandable). However, Apple has contacted another supplier called MediaTek, but this looks like an emergency option after Intel's failure.
Apple has been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to test millimeter-wave spectrum technology. There are reports that Apple's future iPhone lineup will not use Intel's Bluetooth and wireless chips. But the tech giant's latest phone models only use Intel's modems, and Apple and its chief executive, Tim Cook, have no plans to remove Intel from the supply chain anytime soon.
While 5G standards won't be finalized until 2020, and telcos don't expect stable deployments for several years, many manufacturers are still racing to prepare 5G equipment. As Fast Company reports, the upcoming Mobile World Congress is expected to see the rollout of a slew of 5G devices. So in 2020 (when telcos will have a full year to get ready), it's also a great time for Apple to jump on the 5G wave.
