Apple used Intel designed modem then bought the IP and team that designed it. I think that's what they are getting at.
That’s still nonsensical, so much time has passed, and no doubt there has been plenty of turnover, since Apple made that purchase.
Plus, 5G wasn’t really a thing in the iPhone back then.
 
I am confident, For Apple, this time around if not better than at least as good as Broadcomm or Qualcomm WiFi 7 chip. Apple is getting so much better designing chips. iPhone 17 or 18 will see Apple designed and made SOC with A-series,5G, WiFi 7, BT 6.0,NFC, etc
