The big news from Qualcomm in the Thursday was supposed to be a formal announcement of a 44 billion dollar takeover of Holland's en-wit semiconductor, but the Qualcomm business team also said in the company's latest earnings report that it confirmed another industry's long-held rational speculation: Since 2011, when Apple was using Qualcomm's baseband baseband chip, as the two sides were caught in a court battle over the patent infringement of an authorized dispute in early 2017, Qualcomm said that the new iphone will not build its baseband chip in 2018, meaning that the partnership has been at least suspended for a long time. According to media reports from the FT, Bloomberg, The Verge, Qualcomm finance chief George Davis said in a recent report that the Company believes Apple intends to publish 100% of its new iphone in 2018 Fully using its competitor's baseband chip rather than the Qualcomm chip, however, Qualcomm will continue to provide baseband chips for Apple's older phone models. Although Davis did not name Intel, Intel has since 2016 provided the GSM version of the baseband chip for Apple's iphone, another Apple's base-frequency chip supplier. The above talk from Qualcomm's management team has also indirectly confirmed rumors since the end of 2017 that a new generation of iphone baseband chip suppliers will be transferred from Qualcomm to Intel. Given that Intel's latest baseband chip XMM 7560 can support both GSM and CDMA operator networks, there have been a number of previous reports suggesting that Apple will emerge from its reliance on Qualcomm as the Intel XMM 7560 chip matures into the iphone, while Intel XMM The 7560 chip has indeed started mass production, but it was not certain that Qualcomm would still offer a handful of baseband chips to the 2018-year iphone, and now the confirmed message from Qualcomm shows that Intel, after 2016 years of low-key training with 2017, Finally in 2018, the iphone new machine. According to the AppleInsider report, the partnership between Apple and Qualcomm for baseband chips was not until 2016, when Apple was still tied to the exclusive supply of Qualcomm, so Apple didn't publish the iphone until 2016 At the end of the 7 o'clock, the dual supplier Qualcomm and Intel compete in the baseband chip, at the same time, before the Intel XMM 7560 chip is mature, Qualcomm in baseband chip technology superiority, also became the Apple has been slow to successfully switch to Intel supply another reason. Cristiano Amon, Qualcomm's president, said in a question-and-answer session at the company's earnings statement that while Apple's new iphone in 2018 would not use Gotongki chips, it was a very dynamic industry, with the industry heading for the first generation of 5G commercially available smartphones in 2019, Amon believes that Qualcomm's loss of opportunities at the moment, or will be only temporary, if there is a chance, Qualcomm will still supply the Apple iphone advanced chip. Perhaps also because Qualcomm is already prepared to release Apple's Shing message in the earnings law, Qualcomm earlier this week tried to take a pre-emptive stance to wash the negative news, The latest research says the iphone, which Negingatongki with chips, is downloading faster than the Intel chip model, in an attempt to showcase its technical advantages. Since Apple's first mention in early 2017, Apple and Qualcomm are now fighting the world's biggest regulators and jurisdictions over patent infringement and licensing disputes. Qualcomm also counterclaims Apple against the claims, claiming that Apple violated Qualcomm's patents and improperly shared proprietary confidential information with rival Intel, with the intention of nurturing Intel. Relations between the two sides have deteriorated since 2017, and the partnership has Jian. Notably, Qualcomm expects to build its first 5G baseband chip smartphone in early 2019, but Intel's first 5G baseband chip, XMM 8060, may not be listed with the iphone until the fall of 2019.
