Apple’s New Wireless Chips Tighten Its Grip On The iPhone

The iPhone Air debuts Apple’s C1X and N1 chips, boosting 5G, Wi-Fi 7 and efficiency — another step toward full control of iPhone components.

Apple used the launch of the iPhone Air to debut two in-house wireless chips — the C1X modem and N1 wireless processor — a move that signals its long-term plan to control every major component inside the iPhone.

The C1X modem handles sub-6GHz 5G and 4G LTE, doubling the performance of the C1 modem first seen in the iPhone 16e. Apple says it delivers those gains while drawing 30% less power — critical for the iPhone Air, which runs on a slimmer battery than other models. The company also made a pointed comparison: the C1X is faster than the Qualcomm modem inside last year’s iPhone 16 Pro, at least for equivalent cellular standards.

The N1 chip takes over Wi-Fi duties and adds Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread for smart-home accessories. Together, the C1X and N1 pair with the new A19 Pro processor. Instead of a raw spec string, the A19 Pro brings more CPU and GPU headroom alongside a larger Neural Engine — enough to put pro-class power into Apple’s thinnest handset yet.

Beyond this year’s redesign, the chips show Apple’s steady push away from external suppliers. Reports last year suggested the company’s ultimate aim is a single combined modem-processor, though that’s still some way off. For now, the iPhone Air illustrates the trade-off: thinner design, more wireless range, and less reliance on anyone else’s silicon.

Though most technical claims for the new gimbal come from industry leaks rather than DJI’s own announcement.

dji teases dual-camera osmo pocket 4p for 2026 launch

DJI

DJI has teased a dual-camera version of its Osmo Pocket gimbal, confirming that the Osmo Pocket 4P will launch in 2026. The teaser image is the company’s first preview of the device, following months of speculation about a more advanced model in its pocket camera range.

The image shows a slightly larger device than the existing Osmo Pocket 4, with two camera modules mounted above a compact three-axis gimbal. Reports suggest one camera may use a 1-inch sensor paired with a wide-angle lens, while the second may carry a 3x zoom lens — though DJI has not officially confirmed any of these details.

According to leaks circulating ahead of the launch, the Osmo Pocket 4P could support 4K video at up to 240 frames per second, offer 14 stops of dynamic range and include 10-bit D-Log color support. Those features are commonly used by filmmakers who require greater flexibility during color grading and post-production. Reports also point to Hasselblad color tuning, continuing a partnership that has already appeared in some of DJI’s drone cameras, along with up to 128GB of built-in storage that would reduce reliance on external memory cards during longer shoots.

The device is expected to retain features from the existing Osmo Pocket 4, including a three-axis mechanical gimbal, updated ActiveTrack subject tracking and a flip-out touchscreen display. The Osmo Pocket line is aimed at content creators, vloggers, and independent filmmakers seeking compact equipment that can produce usable footage without a larger camera system.

DJI has not provided pricing or a specific launch date beyond the 2026 window. Industry observers expect the Osmo Pocket 4P to cost more than the standard Pocket 4 because of the dual-camera setup and expanded recording capabilities, though no figures have been disclosed. So far, most of the technical detail circulating around the product remains tied to leaks rather than official confirmation.
