Lagos, 31 Oct 2017So you're suggesting they lose money doing business? You should be thankful you have a job bud... moreYou understand economy.
BTW, if Apple [{(and likes)}] tries to make profit of you, it's your and only your loss, and not the loss of the Head the that said company. And the employees won't get paid extra for that royalty money that they'll extort from you. Alas!
I'm feeling really bad for your employer.
Apple are going to ditch Qualcomm and manufacture their own hardware tech ? lol
Their best innovation to date is an animated emoji! HaHaHaHa lmfao!
.alpha, 31 Oct 2017Told you already Qualcomm, it is not smart to sue your biggest customerWhen did that happen? I thought they only sued Apple...
NoToBrandLoyalty, 01 Nov 2017Not surprised about that move by Apple. After all greedy corporations don't like other greedy ... moreAnd crapple is greediest of them all, so no margin for sharing the profits with anyone else, or for that matter paying fair royalties for patented tech. It is fine however, to sue others for troll patents like "square phone with rounded edges design".
Not surprised about that move by Apple. After all greedy corporations don't like other greedy corporations stealing their sales.
As a company, it seems to me that Apple is ethically challenged.
89 Degrees , 31 Oct 2017You really think Apple care about Qualcom sueing it. This is just Apples way of destabilising ... moreInnovation? Like wow top Awkward notch in iPhoneX, greatest innovation)
I sense this is the beginning of the end for the iPhone.....
'bout time. Apple's immense profits gave Qualcomm a standing that she should not have. That way she grew lazy on the SoC development front, living androids 2 years behind where they could be. They think themselves as "modem first" company because of the immense contracts (mostly with Apple), if those cease to be , they may return into SoC chip making and start to compete again ... maybe ... hopefully.
QC made a huge mistake not buying Imagination Technologies because they would had a hocus pocus yorker card in their pocket to turn Apple SoC's in to the black silicone. My ass did Apple made a GPU from ground's up not violating Imaginations patents portfolio (God knows whose else). Closed source property PNX micro kernels for QC QDSP modems aren't something Apple can handle without supporting software (no one cans). So they have to shift but again any radio still can't without dozen QC patents. Huaweia is closest in competition now (when they ditched CEVA DSP's for it)...
Can you smell that?
*sniff sniff*
Yup, that's a lawsuit brewing
Apple pay your bills if you want software support.
Greedy Apple.
.alpha, 31 Oct 2017Told you already Qualcomm, it is not smart to sue your biggest customerYou really think Apple care about Qualcom sueing it. This is just Apples way of destabilising Qualcom to then devalue it and take it over and then take all the patents and then Apple can have more 'Innovating phones' !
Apparently the Iphone X feels like the future lol! I hope not because Apple cant trasfer files with bluetooth . If Apple is the future then we must be going back to the dark ages.
AnonD-55322, 31 Oct 2017If you look closely at the profit figures you`ll see that they make about 40-50 billions each ... moreThat for the 'building' only. Have you taken into account the price of equipment and machinery to actually do the actual manufacturing & installation cost too. Oh, material cost too. Where do you think raw material came from?
Less pressure to depressed workers maybe
Told you already Qualcomm, it is not smart to sue your biggest customer
Kangal, 31 Oct 2017Yes, its true I got to play with it. It will get FaceID and lose the Home Button like the iPh... moreHaha, funny! :))
If you look closely at the profit figures you`ll see that they make about 40-50 billions each year. So building a facility for OLED panels and CPU will be a piece of cake, the R&D however, different story.
Luxor, 31 Oct 201710 years later iphone 8 look the same. Come on. Like dropping Qualcomm gonna make iphone any b... moreYou clearly don't know Apple. They will just sue more companies for things Apple stole, to copy. And they actually have the money to do what ever they want. Samsung is doing almost the same thing now. They just don't sue everyone out there, yet.
10 years later iphone 8 look the same. Come on. Like dropping Qualcomm gonna make iphone any better. In house GPU and OLED? Go ahead. Even the world largest oled manufacturer cant supply enough for every device. Apple thinks they can pull it off? How much moee money to build the facilities? More than the spaceship campus? I bet iphone gonna be priced $2000 to build the facilities.
