The latest report says that next year's iPhone 17 Series will use Apple's own Wi-Fi 7 chip.
According to renowned supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 series launching in the fall of 2025 will use an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip.

The chip will replace the Broadcom chips currently used by Apple for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Apple's Wi-Fi 7 chip will be manufactured using TSMC's 7nm process.
It's clear that Apple is looking to move "nearly all" of its products to its own Wi-Fi chips within about three years to cut supply costs and gain more profits.

Apple is also working on its own 5G chip, which will be separate from the Wi-Fi chip and manufactured using a different TSMC process technology. This chip will also be gradually used from next year onwards. The first product to come with Apple's own 5G modem will be the iPhone SE 4. However, it will still use a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip.
By making its own chips, Apple can better control the supply chain, saving costs. However, this does not mean that future iPhones will be cheaper.
The iPhone 12 mini has the typical square design of the iPhone 12 generation, creating a solid, elegant feeling in the hand, but is much more compact than other iPhone models. With a 5.4-inch screen size, the device is really compact and very suitable for those who like smartphones that are easy to operate with one hand.
The iPhone 12 mini comes in a variety of color options: white, black, blue, green, purple, and red (Product Red). These colors are both trendy and can satisfy many personal preferences, especially users who love a youthful style.
Despite being three years old, the iPhone 12 mini still has the Apple A14 Bionic chip with impressive performance. The 6-core A14 Bionic chip is still capable of smoothly handling most of today's applications, from popular social networking applications to graphics-intensive 3D games.
