Apple has officially announced the iPhone 16E, an important milestone with the onset of its first in-house modem, C1. This development refers to the strategic move of Apple to reduce the third-party suppliers, especially the dependence on Qualcomm for cellular technology. The Apple C1 modem has been engineered to increase power efficiency, which contributes to the impressive battery life of the device, which supports video playback for 26 hours. At the price of $ 599, the iPhone 16E is available for pre-order starting on 21 February, with shipments begin on 28 February.
The iPhone 16E serves as the successor of the iPhone SE series, including many advanced features already reserved for high-end models. It claims 6.1-inch OLED display, A18 chipset and face ID technology. In particular, the device increases the 48-megapixel rear camera and a 12-megapixel front camera, photographic capabilities. The infection in the USB-C port aligns with recent regulatory requirements in the European Union, which ensures compatibility and standardization in devices.
The development of C1 modem has been a long -term objective for Apple, which aims to integrate important components vertically and optimize performance in its devices. The initiative gained momentum with the acquisition of Apple of Intel’s modem business in 2019, which is a strategic move to bring a modem design expertise in the house. Despite facing challenges and delays in the development process, the successful integration of the C1 modem in the iPhone 16E marks an important achievement in the discovery of Apple’s hardware self -sufficiency.
While the C1 modem supports the widely used sub -6GHz 5G spectrum, it does not include MMWAVE 5G support, which is known to provide high speed in specific areas. However, the emphasis on power efficiency and comprehensive coverage aligns with the user’s preferences, especially in areas where the mmwave infrastructure is limited. The iPhone 16E replacing the traditional home button, introduces the adaptable action button, and provides storage options up to 512GB.
it launch Its technology reflects Apple’s commitment to innovation and control over the ecosystem. By developing proprietary components such as C1 modem, Apple aims to distribute spontaneous integration and enhanced performance in its product lineup, which establishes a platform for future progress in mobile technology.
