When are they going to ship a 4G modem then?

That is the first test and the one that would be more interesting product wise. Watch, laptops, etc...

Then again how will Apple do a Car with their own 5G modem.

It doesn't make sense to develop a 4G modem with the market dominated by other players and being so late in the day.

That said, it is reasonable to think that its 5G modem will be multimode and therefore also a 4G modem.

For future models, yes. My understanding is QC's first chip was 5G only, meaning a phone also needed a separate 4G chip.
