no, a patent holder CAN NOT charge whatever they want. Apple tried it during their quest to destroy Android (Samsung) a few years back, but most of their utility claims were "apportioned" accordingly. Apple was able to gorge the entire profit on per device on a couple of frivolous design patents, but the SCOTUS stepped in to reverse that absurd ruling last year.
Contrary to your unsubstantiated claims, Qualcomm's licensing rates are publicly available and published time to time -- often in the range of 3% to 5%. Apple according to this article pays nowhere close to the published rate that most other handset makers are paying.
