Apple is actively developing 6G cellular technology, the successor to 5G, with a target launch around 2030. The company is hiring a 6G Cellular Modem Systems Engineer to define and build the next generation of cellular technology. Since Apple now designs its own modems, it must be prepared when 6G rolls out. 6G remains in early development, with spectrum bands and performance requirements not yet finalized.
Key goals include faster upload speeds, lower latency, and improved power efficiency. While 5G currently supports home internet, 6G is expected to expand that capability. Major tech firms including Qualcomm, Nokia, Samsung, and Ericsson are also researching 6G.
Apple is a founding member of the Next G Alliance, an industry group established by ATIS to advance 6G in North America.
