Apple usually splits component orders between different suppliers and thus it has already entered a deal with Qualcomm for its Snapdragon X55 5G modems, it is presumably planning to add another vendor to the supply chain. According to a new SEC filing, the Cupertino giant has cut a deal with Broadcom for wireless components and modules.

Apple has signed two different contracts with Broadcom which indicates that the company will be providing components for iPhones and iPads for the next three and a half years. These parts will be worth $15 billion, according to the filing. It is not known at the moment which parts exactly will Broadcom be supplying to Apple. The chipmaker has previously supplied Apple with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well as RF front-end chips for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
