Qualcomm sues Apple for making its modems look inferior to Intel’s

11 April 2017
The chipset company countersues after it was hit with numerous lawsuits for overcharging manufacturers.

Vegetaholic, 05 Jun 2017Both companies are full of ****I'd argue that Apple is - most definitely, unbeatably - worse; that is to say, Apple is *the* worst. They have constantly and consistently sold old and outdated hardware, propped up by "gimmicks" to attempt to (actually!) trick customers into believing that they're getting more value for money.

For example, pairing an old(er) SoC with a new(er) camera and making it seem to run -just- as fast, by use of some of their so-called optimized software - usually, some simple fast-memory caching and /or similar.

All of this (and more, such as proprietary headphone and other jacks, chargers and everything), for a premium price! Higher than "their competitors". Their (brainwashing) marketing campaigns have, somehow, kept them at the top - for far too long - and it's still amusing (amazing, really!) how there are people who -still- are *dumb enough* to spend money on Apple products. Heh. :f

*AND they *know* what I've written here (of the truth), strangest part of it all, blah.

    Both companies are full of ****

                    this implies a lack of actual hardware, in case of qualcomm.no offence but the lawyers ll figure it out on their own that some time innovation happens at more than one place simultaneously, that's why inventors need copyright protected patents,.. I think this ll have a profound impact of a firecelled neecular bomb, I ll rejoice

                          Now that i learned, iPhone and iPad are using Intel CPU inside, no wonder their performance are good and comparable to desktop PC. Well done Apple!

                                      [deleted post]your are wrong , and yes it make sense .
                                      would you like that for example you and one of friend or family purchase the same device , and hers , his phone works better than yours .
                                      and just because it have a different part than yours .
                                      I think all device should have the same spec.
