Chip goliath Intel has secured orders for a "critical segment" of cell modems on Apple's up and coming iPhone 7, as indicated by a note CLSA Securities examiner Srini Pajjuri sent to customers, a duplicate of which was acquired by NDTV. 

The current iPhone 6s era uses Qualcomm's MDM9635M LTE Feline. 6 cell modem and the past era iPhone 6 arrangement is furnished with Qualcomm's MDM9625M modem so if this specific examiner is correct, Qualcomm is set to lose a few genuine cash ought to Apple double source cell modems for the following iPhone. 

That wouldn't be incomprehensible. 

The iPhone 6s arrangement utilizes the Apple-planned A9 processor which is fabricated by both TSMC and Samsung, for instance. While Pajjuri rushed to call attention to that Apple isn't looking to totally cut its dependence on Qualcomm, he evaluated that Intel will supply around 30 to 40 percent of the iPhone 7's phone modems. 

That, thus, could bring about a four percent negative effect and a two percent negative effect on income. "Intel, then again, will see a 1.5 to two percent expansion in its income and profit," peruses the article. 

The investigator additionally trusts that Apple will "share shift back" to Qualcomm in 2017. 

DigiTimes back in August 2015 said that Intel may give a percentage of the modem chips for 2017 iPhones. Wander Beat supported that report, saying Intel has allotted more than a thousand designers toward creating chips for the iPhone.
