The custom modem in the iPhone 16e lays the groundwork for future Apple projects, as the company intends to use its proprietary modems across future products.
Apple only just revealed the C1 modem with iPhone 16e on Wednesday, but there's already a rumor about the C2 being tested internally.
As usual for an Apple release, the online version of the Apple Store has temporarily gone offline, in preparation for preorders of the iPhone 16e.
Apple will use the C1 in upcoming devices like the rumored iPhone 17 Air (or Slim).
The company has finally landed on the C1 modem used in iPhone 16e, calling it a "platform for generations.".
