It’s not that they can’t make a 5G modem, they can, it’s just that it won’t be as good as the Qualcomm modems Apple is already licensing. Qualcomm is the gold standard for modems, and when manufacturers use someone else, like Google’s Pixel using Samsung’s modems, you get tons of complaints about lower battery life/abnormal heat, and poor reception.
The modem they come out with might be good for web surfing but what about what our kids/grandkids will being doing with it when they are our age? We tend to think that today’s wireless technology will be good enough for tomorrows applications. I doubt it and not sure Apple has the wireless chops to keep pace with Qcom
