Apple Vs Qualcomm

Apple has been working on producing in-house modem chips, but has faced multiple challenges in the process

The San Diego-based chipmaker said the new component, which can run 12 or more high-definition cameras, will be used by Samsung Electronics Co. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google on products under development

Apple is racing to get its modem finished so it doesn't need to re-up a contract to buy the component from Qualcomm, said Apple analyst Mark Gurman

Apple started working on its own custom modems after the Cupertino based company acquired the majority of Intel's smartphone modem business in 2019

Apple will continue the trend of building custom technology to reduce dependency on component suppliers for future iPhones, Apple Watches and other products.

Qualcomm Inc's new chief thinks that by next year his company will have just the chip for laptop makers wondering how they can compete with Apple Inc, which last year introduced laptops

The three new iPhones will carry a 5G modem chip designed by Qualcomm Inc

Qualcomm last year sued Apple alleging it had violated patents related to helping mobile phones get better battery life
