iPhone 16 Series Sales Did Not Meet Expectations
Notably, Apple's upcoming iPhone SE4 will no longer use Qualcomm's SDX71M modem, and for the first time will feature an Apple self-developed 5G modem code-named "Centauri." This modem not only supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS functions but also has lower power consumption compared to Qualcomm's, though it does not support millimeter wave technology. Despite challenges faced by renowned semiconductor companies like Apple, Texas Instruments, and Intel in modem development, Apple continues efforts to improve its signal performance. For example, the iPhone XS and iPhone 11 series had previously received criticism from users for their signal performance.
