Apple may be moving faster than expected in its modem development work, and Qualcomm's latest comments suggest that shift is already reshaping the iPhone supply chain.
Qualcomm overnight said supply constraints are shrinking some of its Apple business faster than anticipated. "It's availability of supply," CEO Cristiano Amon told Reuters.
While he wasn't specific, that likely reflects the broader industry shortage in memory, storage, and everything else and means the company's share of components used for the next iPhone launch will fall "well below" its anticipated estimates.

When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang speaks, the tech industry listens. He used his first-ever post on X last week to argue that open AI models "strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty."
Nvidia is a chip company (with a focus on GPUs). But it also has its own AI models that include Nemotron, an open-weight model that's free to download and modify. The company is also pushing for open AI technologies and security through the Nemotron Coalition and the newly launched Open Secure AI Alliance.
With Huang's recent comments in mind, Computerworld sat down with Kari Briski, Nvidia's vice president of generative AI (genAI) software, to find out more about open models and why they matter for enterprise and sovereign applications.
