Apple has been trying to work on this development for a while. According to Engadget, Apple was not fond of Qualcomm modems as it continued to choose alternatives. The company even bought the majority of Intel's mobile modem business in 2019.
The company reportedly started working on the new development by the year 2020.
Apple has not given any official statement in this regard.
