It's good to see competition. Apple may not be as anticompetitive as Qualcomm with hardware patents, but their rule to not allow alternative browser tech on iOS seems pretty bad to me.

The article isn't clear about it but Qualcomm's monopoly isn't in the SoC business but rather in the modem business (which is integrated into SoCs usually). This is where all the CDMA talk comes from: I believe they were the only large scale maker of CDMA modems, which also explains why there's no Exynos chips in CDMA markets. This is why Apple bought Intel's modem division a couple years ago: they're actively trying to move away from their Qualcomm dependency[0].
