Technical magazines and websites are reporting that San Diego-based Qualcomm is supplying at least five of the chips in Apple‘s popular new iPhone 6.
The most important Qualcomm chip, or integrated circuit, in the new phone is the data modem, designated the MDM9625M, for 4G data service.
Other chips handle power management, radio signal reception and signal amplification.
The phone’s central processor is made by Apple, though Qualcomm is enjoying increasing success in the industry with its powerful Snapdragon processors.
Apple said Monday it sold 10 million of its new and bigger iPhones at its debut, and San Diego was on board over the weekend as well.
