On May 17, it was reported that according to foreign media reports, Apple insiders said that Apple and Intel had previously had conflicts in 2017. At the beginning of 2017, Apple determined the design scheme of iPhone 8 and iPhone X, but the Intel modem prepared for these two phones still cannot meet the requirements. Previously, Intel had made four major changes to the modem in order to meet the standards of Qualcomm, its competitor.

In the next few months, Intel continued to break through Apple's internal deadline and solve new technical problems at the same time, which angered Johnny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president of hardware, who expressed his dissatisfaction with Intel at a meeting: "Under my leadership, Apple will never happen this way."

Apple lacked confidence in Intel. At that time, Intel was unable to provide 4G chips in a timely manner, and the supply of 5G modems was uncertain. In addition, Apple and Qualcomm were engaged in a litigation war at that time, which led Apple to set a radical internal goal - Apple's customized 5G iPhone modem could be launched by 2021 at the latest. However, foreign media believe that this goal may be postponed to 2025 now, because Qualcomm has settled with Apple, and Qualcomm will provide a modem for the latter.
