This article re-affirms my feeling that Apple needs to move to a subscription model with regard to the iPhone. For $100 / month one always has the latest version of the iPhone. Changes to the monthly subscription plan can be changed when new iPhone models are released.
From my perspective, author of the article at the link and social media comments suggest folks are focused on the wrong thing: thinness.
The real focus should be on:
- future of Apple and Qualcomm as partners;
- new chip design; and,
- mmWave (almost synonymous with "5G")
From the linked article:
Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Air with its own custom-designed 5G modem chip, and that chip is smaller than 5G modem chips from Qualcomm.
Apple [may be] focused on making the chip more integrated with other Apple-designed components to save space within the iPhone, and that space savings is what allowed it to create the slimmed down iPhone 17 Air without sacrificing battery life, the camera, or the display quality.
As Apple improves its modem chip design, the saved space could allow for "new designs" such as a foldable iPhone.
Apple [may be] continuing to explore foldable iPhone technology. Apple is aiming to phase out Qualcomm modems across a three-year period as Apple introduces increasingly more powerful modem chips.
Eventually, Apple could debut a system-on-a-chip that includes a processor, modem, Wi-Fi chip, and other parts, which would save additional space and allow for tighter integration between hardware components.
Question: where do you have the most problem accessing websites via wi-fi? High traffic areas, such as airports, and shopping malls. The answer to this problem: mmWave.
