It was thought that Apple would debut its own 5G modems in next year's iPhone, but the company's commitment to Qualcomm suggests its in-house technology isn't quite ready.

Apple will reportedly announce its new iPhone 15 lineup at its "Wonderlust" event on Tuesday. Rumors suggest that we'll see the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. All four phones are expected to get a 48-megapixel main camera and the Dynamic Island feature, which was first released on last year's iPhone 14 Pro. They could also all make the switch from Apple's proprietary Lightning charging cable to USB-C charging.

The company could also use the event to announce the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Rumors suggest the Series 9 could be powered by a new chip, which may give it better battery life over its predecessors. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 could also see a new processor, as well as a new color.

Apple's Wonderlust event will be livestreamed tomorrow from Apple Park in Cupertino, California, starting at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m ET, 6 p.m. BST, 3 a.m. AEST).

Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on the deal with Qualcomm.
