            i think Qualcomm should stop supply anything to Apple company, looks not worth it, after they get what they want, they split on you

                    I don't get it. If it's wrong for Qualcomm to bribe Apple not to purchase chips from competitors, then isn't it wrong for Apple to accept such a bribe? How can Qualcomm be in the wrong and get fined and not Apple? In what other context anywhere is it illegal to offer a bribe, but legal to accept one?

                      AnonD-731363, 24 Jan 2018Apple and Qualcomm both are responsible but only Qualcomm w... moreThere's one court unknown rule in USA: "Whoever pays the most, can be an innocent one in court" apple won over Samsung only in US court!

                          Now this explains why Qualcomm was so upset with apple over the whole inferior chip thing. .. about making them look bad.
                          They are basically like we pay you to use this. Don't stab us in the back

                              So, Qualcomm was shutting out Intel. Well, Intel used to shut out AMD. Karma. Sticking with Exynos. Only.

                                What business is this to the EU when Apple can choose to solely use Qualcomm forever and not even look at other manufacturers/competitors at all?

                                  Well done,EU...
                                  Now take $2b from Apple,for start...
