Apple is accelerating its plans to use its own Wi-Fi chips in future products, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Following a similar move with Qualcomm, Apple aims to replace Broadcom's Wi-Fi chips with its own faster than initially anticipated. This transition is expected to be completed by the second half of 2025, with all new iPhone 17 models adopting Apple's proprietary Wi-Fi technology.
The shift to in-house Wi-Fi chips will not only help Apple reduce costs but also enhance the connectivity experience across its products. This strategy aligns with Apple's ongoing efforts to integrate its hardware and software more closely, providing users with a seamless and unified ecosystem. This development highlights Apple's commitment to developing its own components and reducing reliance on third-party suppliers.
