The upcoming Apple TV and HomePod mini models might feature Apple's new 'Proxima' chip, replacing Broadcom's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip.
Speculations suggest the new 'Proxima' chip could offer enhanced wireless capabilities and debut in devices like iPhone 17, MacBook series, and Apple Watch models.
Apple's Proxima chip is anticipated to support advanced Wi-Fi standards like Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, potentially improving connectivity and extending capabilities like acting as a Wi-Fi extender.
Apple aims to increase control over wireless technology with its custom chips, including in-house modem chips, expected to enhance user experience and enable future device innovations.
