Apple is planning to switch to a homegrown chip for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections for its devices starting next year, a move that will phase out some parts currently supplied by Broadcom, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
The chip, code-named Proxima, has been under development for several years and is now slated to go into the first iPhones and smart home devices produced in 2025, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
The iPhone maker's in-house chips will be produced by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co , the report added.
At its annual developer conference in June, Apple said that it plans to use its own server chips to help power artificial intelligence features on its devices.
