Because most of the R&D that Qualcomm does (and as a fabless, IP is their real business) ends up on Android phones, while Apple pays the biggest slice. Therefore, they are getting their chips from Intel. Apple doesn't have anything to do with Qualcomm anymore, they get the package from Intel. Qualcomm can battle Intel in court if they want. Good luck for them...
