how does apple get around the qualcomm patents?
I’ve always heard everyone goes through qualcomm because they own a good deal of the IP and patents for the radio/wireless comm stack.
Would love to hear any insights on this.
- kasabali 4y ago> Amon did not confirm whether Apple would pay Qualcomm QTL licenses if it moves to its own modems, but said royalty was “independent from providing a chip.” They'll probably get around by paying the full price. This was what Samsung did with Exynos, they didn't used Snapdragon SoC yet they paid the full price of the SoC (not just the FRAND patent fees for the modem).
