If Apple wants to beat Qualcomm why not sell their M- and A-series of processors to the competition? Sell it at a higher price if they really are that good. Oh wait... too late for that... competition has caught up and about to crush Apple in every category.
Intel CPU vs Apple CPU isn't the same as Qualcomm modem vs Apple modem.
Apple had a decades-worth of experience building A series chips, so moving to M chips wasn't risky. Meanwhile, Apple's building their modems off Intel IP and Intel employees

Qualcomm is still playing catchup with Apple on any meaningful metrics, they may catch up, I doubt they're going to crush them, especially since Apple's business isnt CPUs, it's the whole product around it. And that's not even considering the ARM lawsuit on license transferability from Qualcomm buying NUVIA to get to the spot they're in (which, let's note, was mostly former Apple chip engineers).
The Apple Silicon transition, which started with the M1 MacBook Air, was astounding. Everyone was surprised by it. So, Apple has the ability to release a 1st Gen product that is actually mature and useable. Don't bet against Apple.
The M1 was hugely impressive, but it was also essentially the next iteration in the AX line of iPad processors, which they'd spent years refining.
