Apple is forging ahead with plans to build its own modem line for its iOS and other devices. This benefit will cut out the middle men (such as Qualcomm and others) and may even bring some costs down for customers in the long run.
SVP of hardware and technologies Johny Srouji informed employees of the development in a town hall meeting on Thursday, reports Bloomberg.

No word on when this will become official.
