Apple 🍎 may have only made enough C1 Chips for the iPhone 16e and the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. Kuo said they will be in both.It's known. Do you think Apple would miss the opportunity to advertise C1 on the iPad product overview page or press release?
They could still save money by putting in a MediaTek modem or budget Qualcomm modem that has no mmWave. This is a entry level iPad after all.
