Exynos 2600 Faces Efficiency Challenges but Excels in AI Performance for Galaxy S26

Samsung's upcoming Exynos 2600 chipset may lose an efficiency advantage if it continues to use a separate 5G modem, as seen with competitors like Qualcomm and MediaTek, potentially leading to higher power consumption and space issues on smartphones. This unconfirmed rumor suggests Samsung might need to integrate the 5G modem into the SoC to stay competitive, especially given the benefits of their 2nm GAA process.

Apple's In-House 5G Modem Ambitions Challenge Qualcomm's Dominance

Apple is working to develop its own 5G modem to reduce reliance on Qualcomm, aiming to debut this technology in the iPhone SE 4. Despite Apple's efforts, its licensing agreement with Qualcomm extends until 2027, and Qualcomm holds significant leverage, potentially impacting Apple's stock if it cuts off modem supply. However, Qualcomm also benefits financially from its relationship with Apple, making an abrupt end to their partnership unlikely. Apple's long-term goal is to integrate its modems into future iPhones and possibly other devices like Macs.

Apple's Custom 5G Modems to Revolutionize Devices by 2024

Apple's long-awaited 5G modem is set to debut in the iPhone SE 4, iPhone 17 Air, and low-end iPads next year, marking a significant step in Apple's plan to reduce reliance on Qualcomm. The modem, developed over five years, will offer 5G speeds up to 4 Gbps but won't support mmWave. It's expected to be used in lower-end devices initially to mitigate risks, with advantages like lower power consumption and improved network scanning. Manufactured by TSMC, Apple's modem aims to surpass Qualcomm's technology by 2027.
