The iPhone would be shit if it wasn't for the advanced radio it uses that is based off of Ericsson's technology. There are lots of patents in the agreement and some may seem dodgy, but you can't deny that Ericsson had a huge hand in developing all the radio stuff that we just take for granted. Apple isn't part of the 3GPP and had nothing to do with inventing any part of 2G/3G/4G/LTE. Even Apple doesn't deny this, they just wanted a different royalty rate after their previous agreement with Ericsson expired.
