Apple Still Eyes Intel’s Modem Business

SAN FRANCISCO — A report that Apple is in talks to acquire part of Intel’s modem chip business is likely to jumpstart speculation that Apple is laying the groundwork for designing its own modem device for use in its iPhones and other products that feature cellular connectivity. A report Tuesday by The Information, a tech news site, indicates that Apple remains in talks to buy the portion of Intel’s modem business that is based in Germany. The Wall Street Journal reported in April that Apple was in talks to buy Intel’s 5G modem business after Apple and Qualcomm struck a deal to settle all litigation between them.
