You don't really know that at all do you............
No not at all. Once a lawyer comes up with a good enough reason then things change, regardless of what happened to who in the past.
Do you know for a fact that Qualcomm aren't paying to license patents from Optis? If they are does it have to be published?
No i don't know this for a fact, but either i / we don't know about what patents is this case, in general, it doesen't make any sence.
I have searched for LTE modems in iPhones since iphones
iPhone 6 will feature a Qualcomm MDM9625 LTE modem
iPhone7 - LTE modems from two different sources, Qualcomm and Intel. The A1778 and A1784 iPhone models use a GSM-only
Intel XMM7360 modem while the A1660 and 1661 iPhone models use a GSM/CDMA-compatible Qualcomm MDM9645M modem
iPhone 8 is Intel's fourth-generation LTE modem -- the
XMM 7480
iPhone X Model A1902 – This iPhone X also uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon X16 LTE modem, but is only sold in Japan. iPhone X Model A1901 – This model uses Intel's XMM 7480 modem — which is GSM-based
iPhone 11 / Pro uses Modem from Intel didnt find the type on the fly.
and where im going with this, Apple cant just buy a peace of HW / Chip from a company a use some other SW for it just as he likes, because it would simply not work, he must use the code from the chip maker, there could be adjustments but the core cant be changed, so how can it be that Optis is suing apple and not Intel / Quallcom.
Apple has nothing to do with this as i would see it, but as i wrote earlier i / we don't have all of the facts to understand it, thats why this doesent make any sence.
