Intel reportedly has a thousand people or more working on a 7360 LTE modem chip for the iPhone 7, reports VentureBeat. The company is looking to provide both the modem and the fabrication for a new Apple system on a chip.Sources close to the matter say Intel is pulling out the stops to supply the modems for at least some of the iPhones Apple manufactures in 2016. This phone will likely be the iPhone 7. VentureBeat was the first to report on the two companies’ work together, and more pieces are falling into place as the project progresses and grows.It’s believed that Apple may dual source the LTE modems for the new iPhone from Intel and Qualcomm. Currently, Apple uses Qualcomm’s 9×45 LTE chips. Although Apple has yet to officially sign off on Intel as a supplier, sources believe a deal will happen if Intel continues to hit project milestones. “This is a must-win for Intel,” one source told VentureBeat.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
