Apple's C1 modem in the iPhone 16e is proof that we don't need Qualcomm for 5G - Android Central

Quick Summary:

It took Apple a big acquisition and many years, but it finally developed a modem worth replacing Qualcomm's with — what does that mean for Android?

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, with a Qualcomm 5G modem, in all markets.

If one of those companies managed to build an SoC and modem good enough, it could leave Qualcomm behind once and for all — result in Android phones with better battery life and potentially a lower price tag.
