The new iPhone will use more advanced RF filter technology, and Avago Technologies may become a supplier to the iPhone.
Barclays Bank said in an industry analysis report on Thursday that Apple has finalized the next generation of iPhone RF chip suppliers, one of which suggests that the new iPhone will use more advanced RF filter technology. According to the report, Skyworks, a Massachusetts-based analog semiconductor manufacturer, is the largest supplier of Apple's RF chips. The company will offer 13- and 17-band LTE power amplifiers for the next generation of iPhones ($0.75 & TImes; 2), 2G/EDGE power amplifier modules (costing US dollars), and WLAN PA/low noise amplifiers ($0.50). The cost of these three components adds up to $3, compared to $1.2 for these components of the iPhone 4S. Another surprising finding is that Apple may replace the currently used surface acoustic wave filter (SAW) with a film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) in a new generation of iPhones. Recently, breakthroughs have been made in the manufacturing technology of film bulk acoustic resonators, which has reduced the size of components and improved work efficiency, and has become the first choice for smartphone manufacturers. Avago Technologies may also become a supplier of iPhone RF filters. The company has recently increased its production capacity for film bulk acoustic resonators and has invested tens of millions of dollars in this area. Thanks to the new film bulk acoustic resonator, the cost of the new iPhone is $3, compared to $2.25 for the iPhone 4S.
