Zibri Discovers Evidence of Qualcomm Baseband for Next iPhone

Posted January 21, 2011 at 5:39pm by iClarified
Zibri, best known for releasing the ZiPhone jailbreak utility, has reportedly discovered evidence that the next wave of iDevices will use a Qualcomm baseband.

In the picture above you see a "chunk" of code from the latest iTunes. Maybe, for the most of you, names like "partition.mbn" or "AMSS.MBN" means little or nothing. For me and a few others that means only one thing: QUALCOMM. Those files are the building blocks of any Qualcomm baseband.

So I can tell you that the next wave of iProducts will be using a QUALCOMM baseband. Which one I don't know... maybe the iPad2, maybe the iPhone5 most probably all of them. What is clear is that they are testing them using the same iTunes you have on your hard drives.



Recent reports from Engadget and DigiTimes also predict a Qualcomm baseband for upcoming Apple devices.

I don't know much about baseband chips, but can this pose a big threat to the future of unlocking? How are Qualcomm chips different?
