Previously Qualcomm could not afford such a huge homeopathic And intend to reconcile with Apple.

However, Qualcomm sued Apple again. On Tuesday, Qualcomm accused Apple of stealing its chip manufacturing secrets and providing these secrets to rival Intel, thereby replacing this year's iPhone baseband chip with a modified version of Intel chip. Qualcomm believes that this move may cause it to suffer greater losses, and Qualcomm estimates that it has already steadied billions of dollars in revenue.
Apple and Intel are currently refusing to comment. Apple used Qualcomm's modem chip for wireless data network connection before the iPhone 7 series. But after the release of iPhone7 in 2016, Apple began to use Intel in some iPhone models. Modem chip.
It is worth mentioning that, because this year's three new iPhones are using Intel's modem chip, after the new iPhone is on sale, a large number of users have spit the iPhone XS series signal difference.
The current lawsuit has been accepted by the San Diego County High Court, which has also become the latest battle of Apple and Qualcomm's patent war.
If the current Intel mediator demodulator chip is a new generation of chips developed after stealing Qualcomm secrets, then I can hardly imagine how bad the baseband chips of Intel before. After all, the current iPhone XS series signal difference has become recognized. fact.
