Intel making the baseband instead of Qualcomm?? That seems like a huge deal to me.
- jsjohnst 8y agoThat’s old news mostly. Intel has been making iPhone basebands for several generations, the new news is its exclusively Intel. Given Qualcomm and Apple’s very public fights, not surprising, but I’m curious how Intel overcame Qualcomm‘s patents on CDMA. Did they expire? Did Intel somehow get a license? I’m definitely curious and will post back with what I find assuming someone else doesn’t first. Edit: Guess Intel got the CDMA assets via its purchase of VIA Telecom assets in 2015. Wonder why it’s taken this long to come to market?
