As you might have heard from our earlier reported rumor regarding Huawei wanting to supply 5G modems to Apple, only this time, an update has been received. It appears that the Chinese giant did not plan an arrangement with the iPhone maker regarding the provision of 5G modems, which only means that Apple’s plans of releasing a 5G iPhone lineup have become bleaker than before.

At present, Huawei makes the Balong 5000 5G modem, a crucial component that is expected to be embedded with the company’s Kirin 985, which is reported to power the company’s upcoming Mate 30 series. The Balong 5000 5G modem can also be integrated into a mobile phone separately, something Apple always does with its iPhones, though it also depends on how the device is designed in the first place. Sure enough, Huawei appeared to be a potential partner to solidify Apple’s chances of releasing its 5G iPhone series as earlier as possible, but those chances may have been vaporized thanks to the latest update.
