Apple is a year away from a 5G iPhone and could struggle to find parts for it
Posted in: Uncategorized
Apple is expected to wait until 2020 before it releases a 5G version of its iPhone, but even with a time frame that puts a potential launch after rivals such as Samsung, Apple may still struggle to get the necessary components to build the product.
According to a report from investment bank and financial services company Cowen, Apple is “in a difficult position” given its reliance on Intel’s modem products, and it has four options to deal with the situation, “none of which is ideal.”
Added analyst Matthew Ramsay, “our industry contacts at MWC remained as surprised as we are that Apple is in this situation,” referring to the Mobile World Congress, a conference dedicated to the wireless industry.
