Apple set to dump Intel modems

The experiment did not work

The fruity cargo-cult Apple is rumoured to be having second thoughts about its relationship with Intel and is starting to regret its decision to install Intel modems in half its iPhone 7s.

Apple originally intended the Intel deal to keep Qualcomm from getting too bit for its boots and charging it too much for its modems. The only issue was that the Intel modems only worked on some networks and were not as fast. To fix this problem Apple throttled the Qualcomm modems so that all the iPhone 7s were uniformly bad.

Now, North Capital Markets’s industry analyst, Tom Sepenzis, has claimed Intel’s inability to catch up to Qualcomm is forcing Apple to rethink its partnership.
