2, the new chip giants faced with land antitrust rigorous audit;
Broadcom, the US chipmaker, is poised to buy Qualcomm, and if it succeeds, it will have a big impact on the industry by creating the world's third-largest chipmaker. Reuters quoted antitrust lawyers as saying the takeover would be subject to very stringent antitrust scrutiny by Chinese regulators.
The deal would face a rigorous review by antitrust authorities in the mainland's Ministry of Commerce, citing a number of reasons, including the size and impact of the deal, and a precedent for antitrust penalties in China before Qualcomm, Reuters quoted antitrust insiders as saying.
According to the existing rules, if the merger of the two companies in the last year of global income of more than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars (or 10 billion yuan), or in the Mainland China market total income of more than 2 billion yuan, then the relevant companies in the merger and acquisition must notify the Chinese regulatory authorities. The deal will meet this requirement.
Wendy Yan, a shanghai-based lawyer, said that for China, semiconductors were a key industry and that Qualcomm had already been fined by the authorities, so the deal was already on the radar of Chinese government regulators.
2015, the National Development and Reform Commission launched an antitrust investigation of Qualcomm, the mainland mobile phone manufacturers criticized Qualcomm charged unreasonably high patent fees (based on the full price of the patent fees), the NDRC later to Qualcomm to open a fine of nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars, then Qualcomm lowered the patent fee standards, and has signed a patent licensing agreement with almost all Chinese handset makers.
In recent years, China has vigorously developed the semiconductor industry, the emergence of Tsinghua, Violet and other national teams, for Qualcomm, Samsung Electronics, Intel and other overseas semiconductor companies rely on a reduction. Another shanghai-based antitrust lawyer said the semiconductor industry was strategically important to China, so the Commerce Department would consider the adverse effects of Qualcomm's takeover of the Chinese semiconductor industry.
The lawyer said that Qualcomm, a number of two companies in China's semiconductor competitors, will also raise concerns to regulators, the Ministry of Commerce antitrust bureau to take a rigorous audit. The most likely outcome, the lawyer said, was that Mofcom would not block the deal, but would impose restrictive conditions. The size, complexity and sensitivity of the Qualcomm deal means that it will need to pass three procedures for the approval process by the Ministry of Commerce for 180 days according to policy.
Earlier this year, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce approved a deal for Brocade, a $5.5 billion takeover of Brocade communications systems, but with some restrictive conditions. Prior to approval, the Ministry of Commerce conducted a 5-month investigation. Wang Pao
3, foreign media: the acquisition of Bo Tong will ease the dispute between Qualcomm and Apple litigation;
According to the foreign-media CNBC report, in Monday, some industry analysts said that the company's $103 billion acquisition of the rival Qualcomm's plan, or will ease the high Qualcomm and Apple protracted litigation disputes. The patent lawsuit between Qualcomm and Apple has been deadlocked for a long time, and the two companies have spent a lot of money to go back and forth to sue each other several times. Apple accuses Qualcomm of fraudulently charging Apple with high royalties, while Qualcomm accuses Apple of infringing its patents. ' Although Qualcomm's fight in court is to maximize the value of its intellectual property, but the plan to acquire Qualcomm is not needed by the company-as a buyer, it only needs to set a price, so that the acquired company can provide a positive return on the investment, ' Raymond James stock Research Chris Caso, an analyst Chris Casso Raymond James Equity, commented. Last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook also commented on the patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm, and reiterated Apple's stance on Qualcomm's alleged wrongdoing. If you look back, you will see that the South Korean Fair Trade Commission (Korea ' s Fair Trade Commission) has sentenced Qualcomm to violate the law and punish it, ' Mr. Cook said in an interview with CNBC. ' Taiwan's judiciary has also sentenced Qualcomm to break the law and punish it. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has also sued Qualcomm, which is still under way. In addition, the European Union is also investigating Qualcomm. So I think there is no doubt that Qualcomm has a problem. ' As far as the company is concerned, it has a very close relationship with Apple as Apple's main supplier of components. ' There is a closer relationship between the company and Apple over the relationship between Qualcomm and the lawsuit, ' says Amit Delenari, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets, the Royal Bank of Canada (Amit Daryanani) In an interview with CNBC this week, he said. ' Therefore, the company may logically think that, compared to Qualcomm's current situation, Bo Tong can solve the problem of regulatory litigation between Qualcomm and Apple in a simpler way. ' If it succeeds in acquiring Qualcomm, it can create a new benign environment in which some of the lawsuits will be resolved, but the path between Qualcomm and Apple will still be covered with thorns. Anil Doradla, an analyst at William Blair & Co, Blair Annier Doradela, said in a final comment. NetEase Technology
4, Apple sneak Qualcomm again to sue;
Wen/Zenggaofei presents a stalemate in the status of Apple Qualcomm patent disputes, the two sides continue to release big strokes, the plot to a new climax.
Apple recently released rumors that the 2018-year-old iphone and ipad may no longer use Qualcomm's baseband chips. Qualcomm is not outdone, November 1 to the U.S. Court of California again sued Apple, said Apple disclosed to Intel Qualcomm software code.
Apple has yet to respond to the latest lawsuit for Qualcomm.
Qualcomm has an ironclad proof?
Apple and Qualcomm contend for a first-mover, at least a coup. For Qualcomm's new report, Apple is silent, it seems that there are a few things: a little wrong, the handle was caught in the hands of others.
From the 2011 iphone 4s, Apple began using Qualcomm's baseband chips and the two sides cooperated closely. The high-pass chip has made Apple more powerful, with the iphone 6 reaching an all-time high, grabbing 103% of the world's handset industry profits.
But Apple insists on its usual way of cooperating by not putting eggs in one basket. Starting with the 2016 iphone 7 and iphone 7 Plus, Apple uses Intel's baseband chips on some of its models. It is also the start of Apple's decline in the handset industry, followed by a downward trend, before the launch of the Iphonex, Apple's handset industry profit has fallen below 70%. The latest generation of IPhone8 and iphone 8 Plus, Apple also uses Qualcomm and Intel's baseband chips. As a result, iphone8/iphone8plus sales met cold.
From the point of view of the iphone, consumers are savaged, the ability to distinguish between good and bad, the eye can not tolerate sand. But Apple does not seem to be aware of the problem-perhaps aware, but to maximize its own interests, Apple has had to push Qualcomm to compromise.
From the media's constant exposure to the court's pleadings, Qualcomm seems to be in the hands of the hard evidence that Apple is guilty of.
Qualcomm said it was in agreement with Apple that Apple engineers working with Qualcomm would not be able to exchange technical exchanges with Apple engineers working with Intel. However, in July this year, Apple asked Qualcomm to provide a ' highly confidential ' message for a chip product, and then Apple copied a copy to Intel engineers, including the core source code.
Qualcomm believes Apple's approach violates a software contract with Qualcomm that allows mobile chips to interact with the rest of the handset.
Apple one, sneak?
The industry is clear, in baseband chip technology, Qualcomm is the leader, in the world's leading position, especially in the upcoming 5G communications technology, Qualcomm Advantage obvious, to lead the opponent a larger distance. If you give up using the Gotongki band chip, that means Apple's flagship iphone and ipad performance will be from excellence to mediocrity, to be pushed to the Donomi Domino, resulting in a series of knock-on effects: product competitiveness declines, price declines, share prices fall, grab profits fall, and eventually lead to a fall in share prices, The market value evaporates, the loss is heavy.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, in theory. In this case, Apple is the last thing to see. From the current confrontation between the two sides, Apple dare to release the news, is a recruit ' stone ' tricks, rather than faint.
The first is the release of the 2018 iphone and ipad no longer using the Gotongki band chip message, can hit Qualcomm, especially the stock market, forcing Qualcomm to make concessions in favor of Apple. The news came as October 31 that the price of Qualcomm shares closed down to $51.01, down 6.68%. The patent dispute with Apple has had a serious impact on Qualcomm's revenues and profits, with Qualcomm's fourth-quarter revenues falling 5% to $5.9 billion, down 89% to $168 million.
Second, if Apple is really going to forgo the use of Qualcomm chips, the Apple is already ready to let its ' risk-taking ' not affect the performance of the iphone and the ipad.
Everyone knows, including the fruit powder, on the baseband chip, Intel and MediaTek are going to fall behind Qualcomm for a distance. However, many important contents of Gotongki with chip technology are also embodied in the source code. If Apple is really like Qualcomm, swapping the source code to Intel, it could help Intel overcome the critical hurdles in chip technology, approaching or meeting Apple's requirements.
Qualcomm sued Apple on the basis of that.
According to the current news, Apple said the 2018 iphone and ipad will no longer use the Gotongki band chip may be a pseudo proposition, because the high commonly known as Apple 2018 years of the model has passed the test, using the Qualcomm chip. Does Apple have to be emotional and start again? In terms of time and efficiency, Apple is not allowed to repeat the gongs and drums.
From this point of view, Apple early in one, sneak, put not give up the use of Gotongki belt chip, Apple are carefully deployed, do both hands ready.
If Apple were to get the key information, such as Qualcomm source code, to Intel, it would mean that Apple had been prepared to replace Qualcomm with Intel for a long time.
and Qualcomm patent disputes, in the final analysis is a dispute of interest. If you don't have to Gotongki the Apple market with chips to outweigh the costs of the patent dispute, the Apple will lose its value. This is a situation Apple is unwilling to see. Or, for that reason, Apple has been forced to renege on its business reputation by copying the source code to Intel engineers to ensure that Apple's product performance is not compromised.
According to the news, Apple will accelerate the pace of homemade baseband chips, the fastest 2019 years ready. In this way, Apple is even more indefinable. In the years of cooperation, including baseband chip source technology, Qualcomm to Apple is unreserved. Who's to be sure that Apple's baseband chip doesn't have a high-throughput gene in it?

5, Apple Mac computer no longer afraid to fall a new patent can reduce the fall accident;
Apple recently acquired a new patent, the purpose of this patent is to reduce the potential damage to electronic equipment, and to create an active protection system for various electronic devices that will protect the equipment from potential crashes, shocks and impacts, and it is not clear when the patent will be available for future Apple products.
In the patent, Apple has added an active protection system that protects devices from potential threats, including crashes, shocks, and impacts. And the patent covers a wide range of active anti-slam programs and damage mitigation systems for various electronic devices, including mobile phones, mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, PCs, personal digital assistants, media players and other electronic devices.
Apple said in its patent filing that various electronic devices will be affected by different environments, including extreme temperatures, humidity, physical contamination, and possible loss or damage (including descent, impact, compression) and so on. These effects may be related to the components of portable electronic and mobile devices, and the sensitive control and display components exposed to these environments and damage may expose them to external environments, thereby increasing the risk of damage caused by accidents or misuse.
Apple says users need a more flexible, less damaging and impact response system that can be applied to the increasingly extensive operating environment and scope of modern electronic devices. Therefore, when designing and inventing this system, it is necessary to take full account of the broader environmental risk factors, including falling, impacting, compressing, and other potential adverse operation effects, etc.
If the patent can be successfully used in the future of the Mac products, then the new material of glass and thinner fuselage design will appear to follow closely followed. The realization of the new patent means that after the users of Apple products are no longer afraid of electronic products broke, especially mobile phones and computers, which will bring great convenience to people.
