Apple is set to introduce its own combined Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip in the upcoming iPhone 17.
Currently, iPhones rely on a Broadcom chip for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions. However, Apple plans to transition nearly all its devices to in-house chips within the next three years.
These new chips will support the latest Wi-Fi 7 specifications, though analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has yet to disclose specific technical details. Notably, the iPhone 16 introduced limited Wi-Fi 7 support, which is expected to be fully enhanced in the iPhone 17.
Key Points:
- Apple’s proprietary Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip for iPhone 17
- Transition from Broadcom to in-house chips within three years
- Full Wi-Fi 7 support expected
