Sorry to tell you this, but they don’t use GPS chips anymore, The GPS radio is combined with the bluetooth, the wifi and the cellular radio, and NFC and FM radio functions if equipped into one piece of silicon, or GaAs.

The GPS function is done in software with hardware acceleration.

No chip to break.
