Apple is reportedly working on a custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip.
The chip will appear in iPhones and other devices in 2025 but could lag behind the chips used in previous iPhones.
This would nevertheless be another major move for Apple and could result in slimmer, more efficient devices.
Apple has designed its own processors in iPhones (https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-iphone-16-3368121/) for well over a decade now, and it’s also working on its first in-house modem (https://www.androidauthority.com/apple-first-5g-modem-roadmap-qualcomm-3506694/) that will reportedly debut next year. Now, it sounds like the company could debut another custom chip in 2025.
Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-12/apple-nears-switch-to-in-house-bluetooth-and-wi-fi-chip-for-iphone-home) reports that Apple will switch to a homegrown Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip next year, codenamed Proxima. This in-house chip will be manufactured by TSMC and is slated to replace chips made by Broadcom.
