Qualcomm and Apple have a long history of contradictions between each other has been a large number of lawsuits, respectively, in different countries around the world, the two sides sued each other infringement of patent rights.
Apple feels that Qualcomm's patent fees are unfair (that is, by the percentage of the phone's overall selling price), and Apple thinks Qualcomm should charge royalties based on the price of the baseband processor.
Iphone A second lawsuit filed by Qualcomm on the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) was heard this week, Reuters reported.
Qualcomm accused Apple of some of its iphone devices for violating its patent rights in the lawsuit, demanding that the iphone devices be banned from selling in the US market.
In fact, as Apple and Qualcomm's patent disputes escalate, Apple has gradually lowered its reliance on the Gotongki processor, and Apple is ready to use the Intel chip instead of the Qualcomm baseband processor in future Apple devices, but the baseband chip is considered weaker than the high-pass chip. But even if Apple was convicted of a patent infringement, Apple could still circumvent the patent by modifying its products.
If the iphone is actually banned in the US market, Apple will have multiple avenues to appeal, including the Trump Channel, foreign media said.

While Qualcomm's charging model is not recognised by Apple, Ericsson and Nokia are now on the market as a percentage of the factory price of smartphones, but companies such as Huawei, which have a large number of patents, can cross-license patents and lower royalties. I think, although high-pass ' eating ugly ', but at present, the major mobile phone manufacturers on the baseband chip and there is no better choice, and if you want to get rid of the reliance on Qualcomm, self-research is the best way out, but that may make manufacturers spend more cost.
