WSJ: Apple's 5G Modem Prototypes 'Three Years Behind Qualcomm's Best Chip'

I had no idea Apple spent billions of dollars on this.

Neither does anyone else!

You have it backwards… Apple is like Porsche, trying to catch up on tech and Tesla is like Qualcomm, Innovation leader in the field.

LOL! Tesla is like Ford with its Pinto, explosive and immolating, while Apple is like Toyota and Honda actually innovating and, over the years, setting new ideals of quality and reliability.

I feel like "3 years out" has been the apple motto with this since before Covid. Just admit it, modems aren't like making CPU/GPU's and Qualcomm continues to improve theirs. Let's not have another debacle like they had when they had intel and Qualcomm modems and had to throttle the Qualcomm ones because the intel were such garbage.
