• Apple is reportedly working on a custom Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip.
• The chip will appear in iPhones and other devices in 2025 but could lag behind the chips used in previous iPhones.
• This would nevertheless be another major move for Apple and could result in slimmer, more efficient devices.

Apple has designed its own processors in iPhones for well over a decade now, and it’s also working on its first in-house modem that will reportedly debut next year. Now, it sounds like the company could debut another custom chip in 2025.

Bloomberg reports that Apple will switch to a homegrown Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chip next year, codenamed Proxima. This in-house chip will be manufactured by TSMC and is slated to replace chips made by Broadcom.
