Based on everything I've read, your comment is a complete distortion of what actually happened. Apple really wanted Intel to provide their chips, to the point of shipping a phone with dual Intel-Qualcomm modems, with the Qualcomm one throttled because Intel couldn't match its speed. Intel just wasn't able to make their modem business work, after years of work and at least four (!) acquisitions of modem makers. Apple had no choice but to go back to Qualcomm if it wanted to sell phones. https://semiaccurate.com/2019/04/18/why-did-intel-kill-of-their-modem-program/ https://semiaccurate.com/2019/04/18/why-did-intel-kill-of-th... https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/05/how-qualcomm-shook-down-the-cell-phone-industry-for-almost-20-years/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2019/05/how-qualcomm-sho...
