There is a possibility that Apple has halted chip development to focus on developing the advanced 3NM chips that will be used in its upcoming devices.

Apple supplier Broadcom will continue providing the tech giant with Wi-Fi chips in the near future, and possibly supply chips for iPhone 15 line-up set to launch in 2023.

Earlier in January, reports surfaced that Apple is making an all-in-one cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chip to replace the resources from Broadcom by 2025.

Additionally, Apple is reportedly working to replace Qualcomm’s radio-frequency and wireless-charging chips.

Many investors are worried that the tech giant's efforts to develop its own Wi-Fi chip might negatively impact Broadcom's Wi-Fi chip business, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a blogpost on Thursday.

The iPhone maker's previous development for Wi-Fi solution was the Wi-Fi-only chip and not the Wi-Fi+Bluetooth combo chip.
