Your point 3, casting aspersions on Apple, is moot, because you haven't understood the difference between the "notice" and the "announcement" dealt with in this article.
The "notice" was given to Imagination by Apple more than two years ago!
In fact, Apple had not been licensing "new" technology from Imagination since that time!
"The "financial collapse" was a result of the recent announcement by Imagination itself -- in March of this year! This announcement "pulled the rug" out from under Imagination's investors, who thought everything was hunky dory for the last two years!

Where there is a difference in what is being said, I would put money on Apple telling the truth. Despite the picture painted in the media, Apple is actually one of the most transparent tech companies there is -- not about their product roadmap, but about their business. Apple actually gives a lot of hard numbers, for example; whereas others like Amazon, Samsung, MS, and Google don't break them out as much, or purposefully obscure them between different divisions and Profit-Loss statements.
