and Apple agreed to pay Qualcomm's FRAND rates, didn't it? Like Apple's 30% cut known to the public, Qualcomm's FRAND licensing rates are published time to time and Apple agreed to abide by it.
Apple pays according to the article about $10 per device, or 1.33% of the retail price. This is far below what Qualcomm is charging, 3% to 5%, and what most handset makers pay. Further the royalty Apple pays (indirectly) is based on Apple's manufacturer's build cost, not retail cost.
