@apple_geek_actu (X) points to findings from Tata Electronics indicating that Apple may continue using Qualcomm modems for the iPhone 18 Pro in the U.S. market while deploying its proprietary modem abroad.

Why this matters

If true, this indicates a staggered rollout of Apple's internal networking technology, potentially resulting in performance differences between regional versions of the same flagship phone.

Confidence reason

Based on reporting from a known media outlet citing specific manufacturing supply chain documents.
