Apple's iPhone 18 Modem Switch Comes With a Quiet Privacy Benefit - MacRumors
Overview
Reports indicate Apple plans to use its own modems across the entire iPhone 18 lineup, ending support for Qualcomm modems, which could improve speed, efficiency, and privacy. Kuo's note that lower-end iPhone 18 models will also get 9GB of DRAM and an A20 chip underscores a broader hardware refresh across the family, beyond just the modem. Together, these changes suggest Apple is standardizing internal components to control performance, power, and supply‑chain exposure.
