Could this is a preeminent move to produce more parts in the US by Apple to avoid the new tariffs being imposed?
How many years of R&D are required before production of a new phone these days?
I hope this change will result in new low price SoC board PCs running x86 cores to compete with RPIs entering the market soon.
- klodolph 8y agoI suspect the new baseband processors are powerful enough that you can use one part for everything, rather than a different baseband processor depending on your network, which makes things cheaper. Tariffs might be a factor but Qualcomm works with Global Foundries which has fabs both in the US and elsewhere.
