Their continuous rent-seeking, anti-competitive behavior.
Anything they touch basically seems aimed at the goal of extracting as much money as possible. All their designs basically force companies to use all their products instead of using competitor products (notice how designs with Qualcomm SoCs also have Qualcomm power, audio, and numerous other QC chips). They're a blight on the industry.
- ksec 3y agoAnd yet they provide the best there is? Qualcomm does not bound you into audio, but do bound for certain parts where together they made better product package such as power amplifier or RF Front End with their Modem for better pricing. i.e It doesn't mean you cant buy their standalone Modem or their SoC without the others. And it was really Anti- Competitive and monopoly as many has lead ( or not lead ) to believe, Mediatek would not be eating their market share ( in terms of Unit Shipment ) top and bottom.
