Apple to equip its 5G iPhone with modems from Qualcomm and Samsung

By Vilija Simkiene April 25, 2019

In 2020, Apple is anticipated to release its first 5G-enabled iPhone powered by chipsets from Qualcomm and Samsung, according to a report from reliable supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities.
