It's a WAG. (Wild A** Guess)

Qualcomm to innovate more?Good for Apple. Vertical integration and less reliance on third parties is likely a good call here. If the modem performs well, it may push Qualcomm and others to innovate more, similar to the effect of the M1 chip. The more companies competing, the better for consumers.
It's all being built in-house. Apple will surprise the world like they did with the introduction of M1 chip.Qualcomm to innovate more?
Qualcom already has their SD888 with an integrated 5G SA modem that supports LTE also.
Apple is playing catch up, big time.
They don't even have sample silicon, let alone a processor with an integrated modem. SMH...
Qualcomm and Apple today announced an agreement to dismiss all litigation between the two companies worldwide. The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm. The companies also have reached a six-year license agreement, effective as of April 1, 2019, including a two-year option to extend, and a multiyear chipset supply agreement.
Oh Dang! That's a good findddd. Apple is able to pay early termination to cancel out the 6-lease agreement
Because the 5G Apple modem appeared out of a pile of pixie dust and didn't cost a load of money to develop.Does this mean cellular iPads will be cheaper?
A license is not a contract.Oh Dang! That's a good findddd. Apple is able to pay early termination to cancel out the 6-lease agreement
Or maybe they will only introduce it to iPhone Pro Max Model.
Good luck with that. Also, Apple has been doing modem R&D for years before the Intel acquisition - so there's a lot more to recoup than you thinkI realize Apple needs to recover the costs of acquiring Intel's modem division, plus R and D since then. But at some point in the future, please start passing along the cost savings of all that vertical integration to the consumer. Please Apple?
I'm sure that when they dropped their war and Apple agreed to buy modems exclusively from QCOM for 5 years, AAPL's lawyers also put in some provisions against future suits. Companies aren't as stupid as the average contributor to these forums seem to think.I don’t know exactly when Apple’s 5G modem chip will debut, but it will be about two hours before Qualcomm sues them over IP.
Maybe they will license the IP from Qualcomm and make their own designs, sort of like what they do with ARM.
You Do know the Apple modem chip is Intel ?Rip Intel.
Good bye QUALCOMM
Oh yeah if I were to take the comments section seriously, almost every single article I write is misleading or unnecessary or something or other. It's always something.They don’t make the rumors, they just report them
...AAPL's lawyers also put in some provisions against future suits.
Trade it in on a 12 or 12 Mini.Good. The intel modem in my SE is horrible. Two bars of LTE and it doesn't receive any data.
Apple has about 190 billion in the bank. They do not need to recoup ****.Because the 5G Apple modem appeared out of a pile of pixie dust and didn't cost a load of money to develop.
Nah, especially in the US. The infrastructure will probably come almost-kinda-sorta-a-li'l-bit close to matching the marketing by then. mmWave will probably still only be a statistically insignificant percentage in the carriers 5G deploymentLate to the party. Probably be 6G by then
