Report: Apple Still Eyes Intel's Modem Business

SAN FRANCISCO, Jun. 12, 2019 – 

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 German operations make up the bulk of the modem business that Intel acquired from Infineon Technologies for $1.4 billion in 2011.

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. Those talks reportedly broke down without a deal being reached.

Apple was believed to be the sole customer for Intel's delayed 5G modem, and Intel announced its intention to exit the business shortly after Apple and Qualcomm buried the hatchet.

Tuesday's report indicates that Apple may still be moving forward with the goal of acquiring a specific portion of the business.
