Apple launched its first in-house modem last month: the C1. The new modem comes with a pair of key features outside of already outperforming Qualcomm’s 5G option. But per rumors, Apple’s C-class modems could bring even more product upgrades in the future—including two that are especially huge. Cellular Macs could finally be happening I’ve long believed the arrival of Apple’s in-house cellular modems was the Mac’s next best chance to finally get cellular. It seems Apple may agree.

If you came of age in the 1990s, you’ll remember the unmistakable auditory handshake of an analog modem negotiating its connection via the plain old telephone system. That cacophony of screeches and hisses was the result of careful engineering. They allowed digital data to travel down phone lines that were only ever built to carry audio—and pretty crummy audio, at that. Speeds crept up over the years, eventually reaching 33.6 kbps—thought to be the practical limit for audio modems running over

It has taken some time for Apple to release its first modem and it did so quietly with the launch of the iPhone 16e last month . The cellular modem is called the C1. But in 2019, Apple bought Intel's modem business with the view of designing its own modem in-house, much like it does with its smartphone processors. Modems are a key component of smartphones that connect the device to the mobile network. Qualcomm is one of the biggest modem suppliers in the world and for years has been the go-to

In 2020, Apple announced the Mac transition to Apple Silicon. Replacing Intel was a large undertaking, but it proved successful. Apple was able to develop chips that were both faster and more efficient than the Intel processors they replaced, all in an under 3 year transition. Now, Apple is trying to replace Qualcomm, starting off with the new C1 modem in the brand new iPhone 16e, it’s the first step in a much larger journey. In the end, Apple wants all networking to be handled in-house. Futur

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans on integrating future modems within the main chipset of the device. This means that, in the future, there won’t be both an A18 chipset alongside a separate C1 modem, instead they’ll all be one. This development will take a few years, though. In the announcement for the new iPhone 16e, the new C1 modem went a little under the radar. It was Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, part of a larger plan to eventually displace Qualcomm
