Apple doesn’t get a percent cut of Android app sales.
- bilbo0s 7y agoI don't think this "blunte" guy really quite understands what people in the cell phone industry mean when they say that Qualcomm had a stranglehold on everything. They mean everything. Every thin dime spent anywhere you care to spend it. There really exists nothing else quite like Qualcomm around out there. We tend to throw the monopoly word around so loosely that we start to equate things like Apple and Qualcomm. It really does make it difficult to try to generate support to dig out from under abusive companies like Qualcomm when they have an army of people out there advancing the narrative that they are no different than any other company. Meanwhile real engineers are losing their livelihoods by the thousands when companies succumb to the Qualcomm chokehold. Then a lot of those engineers have to go work for Qualcomm. Etc etc, on and on. It's sad.
- ncmncm 7y agoMaybe not, but they get a cut of each Android phone.
- ksec 7y agoAnd not just Qualcomm, Ericsson, ZTE, Nokia get a percentage cut of iPhone as well.
