New Apple Chips Announced September 9, 2025

Locator: 49074APPLE.

N1 and C1X.

Both big deals. 

  • The N1. Replaces to some extent / great extent Apple's reliance on Broadcom.

The C1X:

Also: Thread. And Matter. IoT. Slow adoption for home use, or perhaps it's just me. But huge competition between Apple and Amazon for this space.

I don't have Apple Home but I have:

  • electronic access to front door; keyless entry; awesome;
  • Blink security; excellent, monthly fee which has just been increased;
  • garage door opener;
  • storage unit door opener;
  • community access to gate community;

So, I have minimal "Home IoT" use but I still have five apps on my iPhone (none are Apple) and/or five hardware gadgets that connect through my iPhone.
