This is a great start for Apple having just entered this product sector (even if they did just gobble up Intel's modem division to do it, it's still by no means easy), this is an outstanding showing. Apple's long term goal likely isnt to outcompete Qualcomm's modems, it's to cut them out and more tightly integrate everything, less outside technology means a higher profit margin and better efficiency since it's their own tech.
