Apple's self-developed chips are expected to be applied to some products in 2025

On December 13th, Jinshi Data reported that Apple has ambitious plans to create self-developed components for its devices, including a shift to using its own chips for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity starting next year, replacing certain parts currently provided by Broadcom. According to informed sources, the chip, internally codenamed Proxima, has been in development for several years. The company also plans to apply it to the iPhone later next year and to the iPad and Mac before 2026. Like Apple's other self-developed chips, Proxima will also be produced by its partner TSMC. Sources say that Apple's goal is to develop an end-to-end wireless solution that integrates closely with other components and is more energy-efficient. Now, Apple will have control over how its devices connect to cellular networks and Wi-Fi hotspots, areas that have long been the stronghold of other chip manufacturers. This should give Apple more control over user experience and pave the way for new device forms, such as thinner iPhones and wearable technology
