Kuo: All iPhone 17 Models Will Feature Apple-Designed Wi-Fi Chip to 'Enhance Connectivity'

Apple plans to use its own custom-designed Wi-Fi chip in all iPhone 17 models, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. This move is expected to improve connectivity between Apple devices and reduce costs. The new chip may support Wi-Fi 7, offering faster speeds and better connection stability when paired with compatible routers. Apple aims to eventually combine its Wi-Fi, cellular modem, and Bluetooth chips into a single, more energy-efficient component to reduce battery usage in future iPhones.
