Is Apple actually going to pay for the parts or will they back out after again?
This whole 5G thing is the greatest experiment on people... according to quite a few researches constant bombardment by high frequency microwaves (which is what 5G is) is going to have health effects (key word is constant bombardment by very high frequency EMF (tens of gigahertz, 24/7).
Looks like the only beneficiaries of this will be big brother (as this will enable all kind of spooks wet dream - constant high resolution real time surveillance over just about everything), and ofcourse big telecom who will love to sell you "5gee betta den 4 gee".

There is nothing clear about that statement. You are just talking about the anecdotal remarks about reception for the new devices.Apple, develop their own modems. and stop using Intel modems. These clearly are problematic time and time again.
Easier said than done. They are definitely working on it, but if the FTC wins against Qualcomm, that will be the first in a series of moves that will allow Apple as well as Samsung, Huawei, etc to work on developing their own modems.Apple needs to hurry up and design their own modem.
The upfront R&D cost will eventually be made up for by being able to make their own modems cheaper.Apple can't just make a modem overnight. It takes time and money.
Cost of iPhone will likely go up if Apple has to spend billions on R&D to make their own... costing more than paying Qualcomms fee.
If it was cost effective to build their own modem, they'd do it. Apple is all about that green.
Considering the cost of the iPhone, they should just bury the hatchet and put in the Qualcomm modems at the price agreed. Pay what you owe, and give people the best performance available. Don't throttle Qualcomm modems to be equal to inferior Intel units. If it costs an extra $10-20 per handset, that is nothing compared to the cost of the phone.
Many competitors have the best Qualcomm modems in phones that cost half the price.
Can you "hurry up" and develop a modem? Especially one that's better than the competition, and they have decades of a head start.
Apart from the gazillion patent suits that will appear from all over the place.Once Apple designs their own modem, it's going to be game over!!!

They'll take FRAND licenses.Apart from the gazillion patent suits that will appear from all over the place.

precisely....if it was easily done Apple would have done it years ago.....Apart from the gazillion patent suits that will appear from all over the place.
mediatek...thats rather low on the totem pole
They said the same thing before Apple started designing its own CPUs.Game over since iPhones will just be iPods with even worse reception and throughput than Intel. Do you think it's easy? Broadcom, for example, gave up after trying for decades.

A contract is a “meeting of the minds”. When you have attorneys from two large companies hammer out a contract everything in it, unless it contradicts the law, is enforceable. In contrast when you have a contract prewritten (contract of adhesion) by just one side as you would between a store and a consumer not every part of it can be enforced against the consumer since there was never a “meeting of the minds”.
matter. If apple made peace..and go back to business “friends,” iphones would have better connectivity than intel.Just a reminder, even if Apple made peace with Qualcomm and settle out of court. Qualcomm simply doesn't have a 5G modem design on hand that fits Apple. The current X50 requires an additional 4G Modem to work along side it. Unless Qualcomm announce an All in One 5G solution within the next few weeks, the chance of that Qualcomm 5G iPhone is something next to impossible.
Is it even possible for Apple to 'Make Its Own Modem' without running afoul of Q in some way shape or form?
