   Nor was Intel in the high end of the market with the XMM 7360, XMM 7480,   
   or XMM 7560 modem. Being on "the cutting edge" with every component is   
   not a requirement.   
      
   The Mediatek M70 would be just fine.   
   .   
   Maybe not quite as good as the Qualcomm X55, but good enough, if Intel   
   isn't ready in time. Something will happen to make 2020 5G iPhones a   
   reality.
