Qualcomm is such an annoying company to work with. They are rapidly turning into rent-seeking trolls (I've heard co-workers joke that Qualcomm is a law firm with a few engineers)
- bgorman 8y agoQualcomm is the Oracle of hardware companies
- pentae 8y agoReminds me of a certain company who runs the most profitable smart phone app store. Except Qualcomm ask for only 5% per device.
- ksec 8y agoWell not really a fair comparison, Qualcomm is only part of the 3GPP patents profile, and LTE is only part of the iPhone package function. Not to mention 5% is equal or more to all other 3GPP patents cost combined. Having said that, looking at Samsung, Mediatek, CEVA IPs, Intel Modem, so far it seems Qualcomm's baseband and IPs is actually quite value for money in terms of performance and cost.
