Apple’s Next-Gen 5G Modem Expected in iPhone 18 Pro Models

Highlights

  • Apple reportedly plans to debut its next-gen 5G modem the C2 chip in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models in 2026.
  • The C1 chip was introduced in the iPhone 16e and is more power-efficient than Qualcomm’s modems.
  • The non-Pro iPhone 18 models might continue with Qualcomm’s modems temporarily.

Apple took a big step this year by introducing its first in-house 5G modem the C1 Chip with the iPhone 16e. However, it seems the company is holding off on bringing its custom modem to flagship iPhones at least until next year.

Analyst Jeff Pu of GF Securities has backed up recent rumours stating that Apple is already working on a newer version of its modem the C2 Chip for the iPhone 18 Pro series. Here’s what we know so far.

Apple’s 5G Modem Plans for the iPhone 18 Pro

According to 9to5Mac in one of its recent reports, a note to investors seen by their team confirms Pu believes that Apple’s C2 modem will debut in the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in 2026. This aligns with an earlier Bloomberg report suggesting that the C2 chip will first appear in higher-end iPhones next year.

Apple’s C1 modem, which is already in the iPhone 16e, combines 4nm baseband technology with a 7nm transceiver. Early lab tests suggest it is more power-efficient than Qualcomm’s current 5G modems.

Pu also mentioned that Apple hopes to use the C1 chip in the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air later this year, though there’s still a chance the company might stick with Qualcomm’s modem instead.

It remains unclear whether the base iPhone 18 will also get Apple’s C1 modem while the C2 remains exclusive to the Pro models, or if the non-Pro iPhones will continue using Qualcomm’s modems for another year.

Since the modem is a crucial component for connectivity, Apple likely wants to ensure that its in-house technology is fully ready before replacing Qualcomm’s solution. While tests indicate that the C1 modem delivers comparable speeds to Qualcomm’s modems in most cases, it still doesn’t support high-speed 5G mmWave connectivity.

FAQs

Q1. When will Apple introduce its next-gen 5G modem the C2 chip?

Answer. The C2 chip is expected to debut in the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models in 2026.

Q2. What are the key features of Apple’s C1 modem in the iPhone 16e?

Answer. The C1 modem combines 4nm baseband technology with a 7nm transceiver, and is more power-efficient than Qualcomm’s modems, but lacks high-speed 5G mmWave support.

Q3. Will non-Pro iPhone models get Apple’s in-house modem?

Answer. It is unclear if the base iPhone 18 models will receive the C1 modem, while the C2 chip will remain exclusive to Pro models. Non-Pro models may still use Qualcomm modems.

Oppo has launched the 4G-only variant of Oppo A5 Pro quietly in the Indonesian market. While it looks almost identical to the global model that was announced in February, the big difference is under the hood. Instead of the global variant’s Dimensity 6300, this version runs on the Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 chipset. Here’s more about the recently unveiled device.

The Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 1 is a 4G-only chip with an X11 LTE modem. It has four Cortex-A73 and four Cortex-A53 cores, along with an Adreno 610 GPU, a setup that might feel familiar to fans of the Snapdragon 662/680.

In comparison, the Dimensity 6300 has newer Cortex-A76 + A55 cores and supports 5G, making the 4G model a slight downgrade in performance.

But if you prefer the 5G version, Oppo still offers the A5 Pro 5G with the Dimensity 6300 in Indonesia.

The 4G model supports 4K video recording at 60fps, while the Dimensity 6300 in the 5G model is limited to 1080p @ 30fps, a win for the 4G version.

Powering the device is a 5,800mAh battery with 45W SuperVOOC fast charging. Oppo claims it can stream videos for 17 hours straight and retain 80% of its original capacity even after 4 years.

Beyond the chipset and other features, not much has changed but Oppo has kept durability as a big focus here. Oppo has used Gorilla Glass 7i and AGC DT-Star D+ glass for protection. The phone is also IP66, IP68, and IP69-rated, meaning it can handle hot water jets up to 80°C.

Moreover, it has military-grade shock resistance, thanks to an aluminium motherboard cover.

Apple recently replaced the iPhone SE lineup with the iPhone 16e, a more expensive option than any SE before it but still slightly cheaper than the standard iPhone 16. However, choosing the 16e means giving up an extra camera, some of the A18 chip’s advanced features and even colour variety since it’s only available in black and white.

But the question now stands, how does iPhone 16e hold up in terms of durability?

That’s where Zack from the YouTube Channel JerryRigEverything comes in with the classic durability test that many tech enthusiasts eagerly wait for whenever there is a new device on the shelves. Zack from JerryRigEverything recently released the video of putting the iPhone 16e through the signature scratch, burn and bend tests to see how tough it really is. Here’s everything we know from the video.

iPhone 16e – Durability Test

The screen scratches at level 6 on the Mohs hardness scale with deeper grooves appearing at level 7, standard for modern smartphones. The frame is aluminium, the buttons are metal and the speaker grilles have mesh to help prevent water from getting inside.

The back panel is glass, and when exposed to an open flame for about 20 seconds, the screen’s pixels turn white. However, after a reboot, the damage is barely noticeable.

The most important test is the bend test and it proves that the iPhone 16e is solid. It doesn’t bend, no matter which side you press from.

Inside the iPhone 16e

Zack also opens up the device, revealing that the iPhone 16e doesn’t have MagSafe magnets like other iPhones. There’s also an entirely new battery removal process, which involves a 9V battery and alligator clips, an unusual method for replacing the battery.

The single 48MP camera inside the iPhone 16e comes with traditional optical image stabilization (OIS), unlike the sensor-shift stabilisation found in Apple’s pricier models.

Here’s the full iPhone 16e durability test by JerryRigEverything –

Overall, the iPhone 16e proves to be durable and sturdy with some unique internal design changes compared to other iPhones.

 FAQs

Q1. How durable is the iPhone 16e?

Highlights

  • The Nothing Phone (3a) teardown video reveals the motherboard cover and improved heat dissipation with a larger copper vapour chamber.
  • Battery replacement is manageable with guided pull tabs, but screen repairs are complex and will require back-opening.
  • The Phone (3a) scores 4.5/10 for repairability and excelling in battery replacement but will face challenges in design organisation and screen replacement.

Nothing recently launched the Nothing Phone (3a) and Phone (3a) Pro and now the Phone (3a) has gone through a full teardown. YouTube channel PBKReviews shared a detailed disassembly video titled “Nothing Phone 3a Teardown Disassembly Phone Repair Video Review.” Here’s everything we know from the video.

Like other Nothing phones, the Phone (3a) has a fake transparent design, achieved through a special layer under the glass back. The Glyph LED lights are actually part of the upper cover for the motherboard.

Inside, the main board houses the cameras, including the primary sensor, which features optical image stabilisation (OIS). To help with water resistance, the connectors on the main board have rubber gaskets, and the USB port on the sub-board has a similar protective gasket.

For heat dissipation, the phone uses thermal paste and a copper vapour chamber, which is noticeably larger than the one in last year’s Nothing Phone (2a).

The battery has two pull tabs and removing them in the correct order is important (they’re labelled 1 and 2 to guide the process). If you need to replace the screen, you’ll have to open the phone from the back and remove the battery first to access the display cable.

At the end of the teardown, PBKReviews gives the Nothing Phone (3a) a 4.5 out of 10 repairability score (with 10 being the easiest to repair and 1 being the hardest).

The highest score comes from battery replacement, which earns 1.5 out of 2 points. The lowest scores are in design (organisation and repair time) and screen replacement, both receiving just 0.5 out of 2 points. Parts availability and miscellaneous parts replacement get 1 point each out of 2.

Overall, the teardown highlights that while some aspects like battery replacement are manageable, the Nothing Phone (3a) isn’t the easiest device to repair especially when it comes to screen repairs.

Google is expected to officially launch the Pixel 9a later this week, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get some first-hand information on the phone. In recent news, a full unboxing video has surfaced on YouTube before launch revealing everything inside the box and confirming certain key aspects of the phone. It appears Pixel 9a comes with a downgraded modem compared to the rest of the Pixel 9 series. Here’s what we know.

Pixel 9a Early Unboxing Video

YouTuber Sahil Karoul managed to get an early unit in Dubai specifically the “Iris” purple variant and shared a full unboxing video on their channel. As expected, Google is sticking with its usual packaging style, which means you won’t find much in the box.

The package includes a SIM ejector tool, a USB-C cable and some documentation. The video also highlights the matte finish of the “Iris” colour, which extends to both the back panel and the side rails of the device.

One of the biggest takeaways from the video is that the Pixel 9a runs on Google’s Tensor G4 chip, paired with 8GB of RAM. However, it also seems to confirm the rumours about a lesser modem. The baseband version displayed in the video starts with “g5300,” pointing to the use of an Exynos 5300 modem.

In comparison, the rest of the Pixel 9 series features basebands starting with “g5400,” which indicates the newer Exynos 5400 modem. This suggests that the Pixel 9a’s modem performance will be closer to the Pixel 8 series rather than the latest Pixel 9 models.

The video also includes benchmark scores from AnTuTu and GeekBench, along with gameplay tests in PUBG Mobile.

While Sahil Karoul’s video is in Hindi, it is not the only early review and unboxing video you would be able to find online. Another early Pixel 9a review from The Mobile Central (via Android Police) is also out online providing a closer look at the Pixel 9a in English.

Here’s The Mobile Central’s early review –

Pixel 9a Already on Sale Before Launch

If you’re eager to get your hands on the Pixel 9a, you might not have to wait for Google’s official launch. The phone has already appeared for sale in some regions.

Caption – Google Pixel 9a is now available for Sale in Dubai before launch.

Leaker Roland Quandt spotted that the Pixel 9a is already being sold in Dubai. A listing on a regional classifieds site shows the 128GB variant priced at AED 2,350 (approx $640 or INR 55,506). Since this is likely a reseller capitalising on early demand, the official retail price in markets like the US could be lower and more in line with previous Pixel A-series models.

Google is expected to officially announce the Pixel 9a later this week with rumours suggesting a March 19 launch.
