  • Apple iPhone 7 series with Model ID: A1660 and the 7 Plus with Model ID: A1661 come with Qualcomm modem.
  • Apple iPhone 7 series with Model ID Model A1778 and the 7 Plus with Model ID: A1784 feature Intel modem.

Hope this helps, best of luck to you.

Apple does not make a list of part manufacturers for devices publically available, so all we can go on are website teardowns and other information online.


Everything I can find from there says its a Murata chip.

Besides Broadcom was reportedly leaving the Wifi chip business last year so would have stopped making wifi chips.
