According to the note, the fruit company is reviewing components submitted by suppliers to use them in the next gen iPhone.
“Among the parts Apple is expected to utilize are Qualcomm’s “MDM9615″ LTE chip, which supports both voice and data connections on high speed 4G networks. That chip would be a change from the new iPad, which features Qualcomm’s “MDM9600.†But that hardware only offers data connections over 4G LTE, not voice.â€
In addition to Qualcomm companies like Chipmakers Skyworks Solutions, TriQuint Semiconductor, and Avago Technologies are potential components suppliers.
Knowing the 4G LTE technology is not exactly the most merciful on a handset`s battery,we are hoping Apple would find a way to smoothly integrate, if it decides to bring the feature to the next gen iPhone.
