So what's in a modem that is different / hard compared to the M1?

Seems an odd statement to just hang out there.

You are (also) dealing with analogue signal processing at incredibly high frequencies. Designing a microprocessor is stacking up Lego bricks, designing a G5 modem is wizardry and magic with thrown in quantum effects. So to speak.

Not to mention all the standards compliance, testing and certification processes. 

Then the finished product has to actually play well with the deployed carrier infrastructure out there where Qualcomm and Huawei etc will have a major advantage, as both of them are actively involved in making that hardware as well as moving it forward (5.5G, 6G...).

Of course, financially, there is no getting away from paying patent fees to both of them in the process. 

Apple is always a day late and a dollar short for people like you. It’s amazing they are even in business to you, right?

I have no idea what you are talking about. 

The reality is what it is. There is no getting away from that. If you want to live in denial, that is fine. 

Have to agree with Avon B7, who was merely pointing out the hurdles that Apple faces which make developing its own modem a big challenge, bigger even than development of the M1. There's no day late/dollar short criticism of Apple at all.

Bottom line: incremental changes in the cpu, camera lens and resolution. The usual yearly iPhone non-event.

Why do people expect big new features annually from Apple’s iPhone like an air freshener, bun warmer, monkey wrench, plunger etc.

Yet the knockoffs offer nothing new except a new iPhone knockoff and they’re praised.

Are they?  The only other smartphones that seem to get much attention are the folding ones, which Apple has no competing product for.

The
 entire existence of Android is copying iPhone. So just more of the same. 

But who actually TRUSTS Google to honor what those labels say, without some surreptitious workaround for its developer partners to still get what they want? 

I wonder if Android itself will have a privacy label…

Everything Google does is based around the Trojan horse concept. We give you something and unbeknownst to you, we also storm the citadel of your life and take your private data to do with as we please. That’s the actual business model. You never knew what hit you. 

No thanks.
