Apple and Qualcomm's complicated relationship continues as Apple faces delays and challenges in developing its own custom 5G modem. The company has been trying to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm but has encountered setbacks, leading to an extension of their agreement until 2026. However, rumors suggest that Apple may abandon the project altogether due to underestimating the complexity involved.
