In the real world is the opposite. Everyone (and their grandmother) copying Apple.

They already do.
Great user name, it fits you.
Broadcom couldn't buy Qualcomm for 146 billion and they would have probably offered even more but in the end the deal was blocked by the US authorities.
To put it simple, Apple can't buy Qualcomm even if it wants to.

A direct copy? LoL
I was about to post the same thing, this is absolutely typically Apple behaviour, so far as they are concerned they are above the law unless it’s benefiting them.
I hope the Chinese courts find them in contempt and fine them. It’s like when here in the UK they were forced to publically apologise for its false case against Samsung, they first made an apology that was hidden on there website, and attempted to claim the UK court was out of touch with the rest of the world and that Samsung tablets were ‘not as cool’ as the iPad. Naturally the court did not find this amusing in the slightest, quickly found Apple to not have complied with their ruling and ordered them to do it again and I think pay all of Samsung’s legal fees.
Anyway it’s just an example of how Apple desrepects word courts unless it benefits them or they face massive charges or fines.
Next year we will have the conclusion of the French court investigation into the slowdown of the iPhones and the US Senate will be probing them in January, plus all the other cases. In Italy both they and Samsung have been fined for misleading consumers about their forced slowing down of devices, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens in France where it’s actually a crime to do that. Can’t wait to see Apples arrogance that countries courts.
I do wish they fix the patent system to stop silly patents like resizing photos are never granted in the first place.

As much as I hate silly patents like this. Apple is no better than things like their pinch to zoom or screen bounce at the bottom of a list patents they tried against Samsung.

They are all as bad as each other. Apple is no better.

Wasn't Apple leaving qualcomm anyway.
A comment only an ignorant child can make.
ETA: the comment above changed between my reading it and replying - originally it read "it's like they are a bunch of children", hence my reply.
Lol. Way to muddy the water in a weak attempt at some deflection but we’re not talking about Android
True...I mean I don't side or support Qualcomm either since they also bully all over the world far too long...
Both have exactly the same exploitative mindset...milking the maximum
Looks like someone is jealous because they can't build the faster chips...
Qualcomm would rather start by redisigning their horrible logo
I doubt it, given that Apple's chips don't actually affect Qualcomm.
Apple buying this cancer? Even if it was allowed they wouldn't buy. Creating their own modems is cheaper than 70 billion. Much cheaper.
In the real world , they all copy each other. You are choosing to look at one side only.
Do you just ignore basic features like wireless charging and weather sealing ?
Feel free to make an argument that Apple has the most influence, and others folllow, but Apple takes it’s fair share of tech / features (hardware/software) from the opposition, gives it some whacky name, and Apple fans claim Apple invented it. Alas that is not reality. Lives interesting when one opens both eyes, be it android or iOS fans
apple should paid the Qualcomm . They really need to focus on ios and osx which pretty bad this day.. I would said future "Jack Of all Trade,master of none" .In the real world , they all copy each other. You are choosing to look at one side only.

It's a sad state of affairs when what is essentially a chip/modem manufacturer has patents for resizing bloody wallpapers.
Patent law really need reforming. "Use it or lose it" should be a thing. Haven't actively worked on a product using your patent yourself for 3 years? You lose it. Would solve all of this BS.

What is laughable about all of this is that a China court has found Apple guilty of patent infringement but yet the country as a whole is well known for it's blatant patent, IP and copyright misuse of virtually every known profitable, well known brands and companies on the planet and yet China's courts do nothing about it.
This is pretty much how business works everywhere. If you have significant leverage, actually using it while you have a deep beneficial releationship is pretty stupid. If/when that relationship turns sour, things change.So salty from losing the modem deal in iphones. Funny how iphones are "suddenly" violating this patent once Apple kicked Qualcomm to the curb.
And a ruling in China. The leader in true enforcing of IP rights

Guess you missed the part in the article that states "Apple has not confirmed iOS 12.1.2 includes these fixes"
