Apples New iPhones May Miss Out on Higher-Speed Data Links – Bloomberg
Verizon Corp., AT&T Inc. and the rest of the U.S. wireless industry have a big boast for this years crop of smartphones: thanks to network upgrades, devices will be able to download as much as a gigabit of data in a single second — speeds 100 times faster than before.But that wont be the case for Apple Inc.s newest iPhones, devices to go on sale later this year, leaving the companys most important product potentially lagging behind the data performance of rival smartphones.The reason stems from the delicate and sometimes complicated way Apple manages the supply of the components embedded in its flagship device — in this case, the modems, whoch handle the connection between a phone and the cellular network. One of Apples suppliers, Qualcomm Inc., sells a modem capable of the 1 gigabit download speeds. Another supplier, Intel Corp., is working on a modem with the same capability, but it wont be ready for the iPhones introduction, according to people familiar with Apples decision.The shares fell as much as 1.6 percent to $152.56 in New York, the biggest intraday drop since May 17.
