While everyone has their eyes on 5G technology, the Chinese tech giant Huawei is holding all the trumps. When asked if the company was to sell its self-developed 5G modems to Apple, Huawei chose not to comment.

Insiders told Chinese media Ifeng Tech that “the one-sided love is not going to work,” implying Engadget’s report saying Huawei will be “open” to sell the 5G Balong 5000 chipsets exclusively to Apple was not solid.

“Balong is mainly used for supporting Huawei’s smart products, such as phones and IoT products, and is currently for Huawei’s internal use only,” a Huawei representative said earlier this year.

Offering an olive branch of 5G technology to one of its biggest rivals is surprising for Huawei. The Chinese company might be Apple’s last chance as Apple was turned down by Qualcomm and Samsung in purchasing 5G chips.

Huawei announced its first 5G chip Balong 5000 and the Huawei 5G CPE Pro, the first commercial 5G device powered by the chip, in Feburary at this year’s Mobile World Congress. The company said that the chip can download at a speed as fast as 6.5 Gbps, 10 times faster than top 4G LTE speeds today. And it supports a broad range of 5G products other than smartphones, such as home broadband devices, vehicle-mounted devices, and 5G modules.

“The Balong 5000 will open up a whole new world to consumers,” said Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei’s Consumer Business Group.

This are things American government don't like, they are used to holding patents to things like this and Chinese company pays royalties to American company but the table is turning, biggest American company outside millitary industrial complex may starts paying to Chinese company.

With 5G, China is showing the world who the true master is.

6.5Gbps? Amazing.

Huawei won't send it to Apple, considering how the US government treated Huawei...
Apple is really in hot soup... Qualcomm has issues with them, Huawei won't sell to them and their only option is MediaTek...
Their users would have to wait for a year or more to enjoy 5G on iPhones while we android users do
Maybe they can to Intel..

For now it seems China knows how to show restrain, they have never retaliated back the way Russia would have done.

they are competitors. Selling to them not visible until done..

Qualcomm an American company has 5G technology, but does not want to sell to apple due to copyright infringement.

Intel is not yet ready. Their product is still in development.

I'm aware of that but we all know it used to be American company first and the alternative will also be American company and the next alternative will still be American company or France, Germany etc not China.

Yes that's also what's I've read, but they're the only ones they can pin their hopes on, they can't get it from Huawei even if they wanted to because of the ban by their government, they have problems with Qualcomm and even if they would have ever looked to Mediatek, they are nowhere close to implementing 5G.

The ban is only for telecom service provider and the phone ban only affect government workers, millitary and special agencies such as contractors.

Ok, I thought it was an all encompassing ban for for businesses in the US, it would still be a publicity problem for them though if they decide to use Huawei's modem.
