selling mobile phones is a cash cow, but selling mobile chips really isn't, unless you are Qualcomm and have monopoly rights on the concept of a cellular radio.

- pdimitar 5y agoEven selling mobile phones isn't the cash cow it was some short 3 years ago. The demand is plateauing and people hold on to their phones for longer time which makes perfect sense in a world where almost every mobile company is constantly inflating the prices. Plus there's an upper limit to the computing power that people need from their phones as well, so the sleek ads for phones simply don't work on many people nowadays. They are content with what they have.
