Looks like the QUALCOMM version not the intel version which could imply some variations but Avago and Skyworks are both on board together with Dialog in power management. Can’t see Synaptics or Invensense listed.

7 Plus here…

which seems to have more Qualcomm in it and less Skyworks.
Never saw alternative regional variations for iPhone 6 tear downs so they might not occur this time either (intel version).

So apparently Ceva DSP is in the Intel iPhone 7.

I think I will keep hold of CEVA if they really are in the Intel modem chip set but look to sell Skyworks into strength given that they seem to be having to share a lot of content with Avago and Qorvo despite their content gains.
I might re-evaluate Skyworks if they sort out their BAR/SAW.

Looks like Skyworks got hit by news that iPhone7 sales aren’t going well in Europe…

I have an iPhone 6S and an SE. Unless I want to take my iPhone swimming or in my shower (in the rain does not count, as I’ve been stuck in the rain with my iPhone many times before) I cannot think of a single reason I need or am even intrigued, at all, to want to upgrade to the new 7.
I love reading reviews and press regarding Apple products. Nevertheless, I have hardly any interest in reviewing such press regarding the 7.
Upgrade market for the 7 is going to be the smallest, as a percentage of qualified upgraders, that the iPhone has probably ever had. With Samsung issues, new iPhone sales may benefit.
But, if someone asked me, I would advise them to get a 6S or an SE. Ignore the 7.
My opinion from the 6S from the 5, 5S and the 6 was wholly different, with enthusiasm for the 6S. It brought some real benefits for the upgrade. The 7…we are waiting for the 8.
At the same time, I am waiting for an Apple Watch to make what iPhone I own irrelevant. Perhaps the iPhone ring. Some day.
