Apple’s 2025 iPads said to sport Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip

According to Taiwanese industry publication DigiTimes, Apple’s rumored in-house Wi-Fi chip might debut in devices as early as next year.

The report cites insiders from Apple’s supply chain who suggested that at least some new iPad models launching in 2025 might be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip, although they said there is a chance that the chip might not debut until the iPhone 18 series in 2026. Apple’s plans to design its own Wi-Fi chip were first reported in 2021, so the project has seemingly been in development for quite some time now.
While it is unclear if an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip would have any consumer benefits, it would allow the company to reduce its reliance on its current Wi-Fi chip supplier Broadcom, as part of Apple’s effort to design more components in house.

MacDailyNews Note: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max support Wi-Fi 7, which is said to up to 4× as fast as Wi-Fi 6E.
