- Ookla测试显示苹果新款C2调制解调器的速度可与高通最新款5G芯片媲美。
- 苹果自研调制解调器可能减少对高通的依赖，影响全球智能手机供应链。
事件经过：苹果调制解调器迎头赶上高通
Ookla近期的测试表明，苹果的第二代C2调制解调器如今已能与高通顶级5G调制解调器竞争。去年推出的第一代C1芯片性能提升有限，但C2在下载和上传速度、延迟以及网络一致性方面几乎持平。苹果开发自有调制解调器的努力由来已久，此前该公司长期依赖高通，包括过去在授权方面的法律纠纷。分析师认为，这一进展可能使苹果逐步减少iPhone产品线对高通的依赖，从而增强供应链控制并可能降低成本。测试覆盖了美国多家运营商，苹果调制解调器在城市5G环境中表现尤为出色。
