Apple’s move to make its own modems may go beyond just substituting Qualcomm chips.

Within every Apple device such as MacBook, there are requests for modems incorporated into them.

With Apple’s unique modem there can be an improvement in power output and longevity of batteries.

A single chip might eventually combine cell phone networks, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together.

Qualcomm modem deal lasts until 2027; gradual replacement is expected.
