> extremely difficult for Apple to cut out Qualcomm

it was extremely difficult, they have been working on this since at least ~6 years, maybe longer and involved buying intel 5G modem business

it also is lacking UWB which either Apple has given up on or is bringing back with future revisions of their modem

My best guess is that it’s for differentiation. For example, the SE never had Qi when the rest of the lineup did.

My iPhone SE 2 right next to me is charging on its Qi puck right now. The SE have never had Magsafe, which allows a phone to be charged aligned with magnets.
