Hon Hai Group and Foxconn are going to manufacture 5th gen iPhone. This edition will be replacing Intel chips by Qualcomm baseband chip. It’s expected to land just under a year from now. It will be drastic change if Apple drops away from the Infineon chips who are behind the baseband for the iPad 3G and all iPhone model since 2007.
Intel recently acquired Infineon for $1.4 billion, and Steve Jobs reportedly said he was “very happy” with it, which would lead you to believe that Apple would continue to use them for their future products.
However relations have been tense recently with Intel criticizing the Apple TV, and teaming up with Google to help bring Google TV to the market.
If Qualcomm were providing the baseband chip, it would also fall in line with a CDMA iPhone and a recent job posting from them calls for an “iPhone Developer” to work on the most challenging device of their lives.
