the news is that intel has competitive modems .. would have never expected that

to me the news is: intel has competitive modems that use intel instructions

were they used often in the recent years regardless of the arch of their modem chip ? it's been long since I heard their name.

Yes, Intel has been a baseband chipset on iPhones for a while now (at least since iPhone 7, can’t remember if earlier), just not exclusively.

Edit:

And as the original iPhones used Infineon chips (which Intel acquired), depending on your perspective, you could twist it and say they’ve been there since the beginning. Bit disingenuous to me, but I could see someone making that claim.
