Well, these cases are really beginning to be a little too mixed up now.

    ResolvePi, 21 Jul 2017Sad this has happened. I did business with Qualcomm about 1... morePrevious Zenfone devices ( 4, 5, 6 and 2) had Intel's cpu.
    Battery life was very poor.

      Not sure if I have understood this whole thing.

      Apple and Intel do not mind paying royalties as long they pay how much both believe is right price.
      Which is much less Qualcomm wants...

      If I have a tecnology I have the rught to charge as much as I want.
      Apple does that.

      Apple sells no more than 65% devices of Samsung but earns 700% more...
      Isn't overcharging too?

            wow. are appple prices fair & resonable.? dont they overcharge the consumers?

              Sad this has happened. I did business with Qualcomm about 15 years ago, and they were great to deal with. All said, Intel do pretty much own the desktop, so currently, the status quo is fair. I did own a lovely Motorola RAZR phone that was one of the few based on Intel hardware and it's was pretty good. They should get into mobile to encourage competition and improve the battery life of CPUs and GPUs else Q will get complacent. Currently, phone batteries last the same amount of time, if not less, than 5-6 years ago.

                Hypocracy coming from intel... Did they forgot the fact that held MONOPOLY on the PC CPU market until the Ryzen launch? Pathetic.

                  Looks like Apple doesn't want to lose this one.

                      What? Intel playing the victim role? And talking about Monopoly? Double What in The French!
                      Has intel forgotten how they bribed laptop manufacturers so they didnt use AMD chips?
                      What goes around...
