Still not ready to launch its own 5G modem, Apple would adopt the new generation of chips from Qualcomm for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus would retain the Snapdragon categories with an additional factor (joining the processor, the screen, the type of USB, among other points of distinction).
