With the launch of the iPhone 16E, Apple presented the first 5G modem C1, which was developed in an built -in. Since then, many comparisons have been created between these new components and Qualcomm models, which have been dominant in this sector for years. Now, a new study assigned by Qualcomm allows modems to offer a much higher performance … The details behind the report deserve a more critical look.

As always, it is normal to see these studies in a commercial war, but if you are a follower of technology, it is worth knowing what you say to compare personally.

Work: Striking figures but with an important star sign

The report was made with cellular insights, A special analysis company on mobile networksand compares the performance of the iPhone 16E (with modem C1) with two Android devices equipped with Qualcomm modems. The results of the study are clearly open:

• Android download speeds were 34.3% to 35.2%.
• The load rates were 81.4% to 91.0% higher.

These results, apparently, They position Qualcomm as an undisputed leader. However, when we remember that the study is financed by the same winner, the context changes. This is not just this: the company responsible for the analysis has not published any work since 2017, which has not doubted its impartiality and technical news.

A study stated that Qualcomm is best in creating a 5G modem, but not everything is right.

And independent studies?

Ookla’s previous analysis, a company known for its Speedtest tool, presented a different vision. In the assessment, Apple’s modem C1 has exceeded Qualcomm in Real -Office scenarios, but Qualcomm accepted that Chips reached higher maximum speeds.

This nuance is the key: Reaching maximum theoretical speeds does not always turn into a better user experience.. In practice, factors such as connection stability, thermal management and network conditions of the device affect more than a laboratory figure.

Apple He chose strong to reduce his dependence on Qualcomm And develop your own modem not only for technical efficiency, but for strategic and economic reasons. Although Qualcomm modems can continue to lead certain metrics, Apple has shown the ability to optimize the hardware at the system level and provide excellent final results.

Moreover, C1 performance is expected to heal significantly in future generationsSomething that already happens in other apple silicone chips like M1 and M2.

The work financed by Qualcomm interesting data, but should be read with skepticism. There are independent evidence and real scenarios that confirm whether their modems are as superior as specified. For now, the competition between Apple and Qualcomm in Modems 5G has just begun and promises many other parts like this. We recommend you to wait for user comparisons.
