New Delhi, November 3: Apple is reportedly developing its own Wi-Fi 7 chips for the upcoming iPhone 17 and future models. The development of these chips suggests that Apple is looking to gain more control over its hardware and, potentially, leading to better integration and efficiency in its devices.

The new technology from Apple is expected to provide its users with a reliable and efficient connection. Reports also indicate that the iPhone 17 Pro will likely feature a new button design. The single button is likely to take the place of the volume buttons and the Action button. The change could simplify the way users interact with their devices. New Apple M4 Chipset Series To Help Entrepreneurs, Creators and Developers Across the Spectrum in AI Era.

As per a report of Gizmochina, Apple is working on self-developed Wi-Fi 7 chips for its upcoming products, including the highly anticipated iPhone 17 series. Reports suggest that these new chips will be produced using TSMC’s N7 manufacturing process. Taking this step can benefit Apple as it aims to strengthen the integration of its products and decrease its dependence on third-party suppliers. The tech giant hopes to increase its control over its technology and improve how its devices work together.

The project has apparently been in the works since 2021. The change in strategy is anticipated to reduce costs and enhance how well Apple’s devices work together. The new iPads that Apple plans to release in 2025 might also include these developed Wi-Fi chips. Now, Apple depends on Broadcom for its Wi-Fi chips. Apple Acquires Photo Editing App Pixelmator.

Although it is not clear what benefits consumers will see from these Apple-designed Wi-Fi chips but, the change hints at possible enhancements in how well devices connect and work together within Apple products.
