    This is a good news for Apple. They can finally sell more expensive phones, lol. Is this a scam initiated by Apple ?

      AnonD-241270, 21 Dec 2018Apple will get whay they want, all this years kiding about ... moreThree courts have so far made ruling.
      The US appears to have ruled first but in Apple favour, China and now Germany in Qualcomm favour

      Apple have used Intel SoC is way slower
      Apple have complained to Qualcomm re the price Qualcomm levies.

      Apple could have used Intel but it appears that this phone and PC maker suddenly used its own chip in the contested phones, however Apple could not get around using Qualcomm patented technology

      Apple iPhones are 10 years old, if Apple SoC is 100 % Apple, Apple should patent it rather than have this tech to be used by others for zero fees

      Note this SoC is better than Intel's

        Strangely, Apple never wins legal battles outside of Us courts.
        Is it a coincidence ?

                  these are useless fights rather than fighting for patents and stuff both companies should focus on other stuffs .. apple should provide cheaper phones with good hardware ... 720p xr is too expensive for what it offers .... apple should have lowered the x price and sell it.... the xr was no needed such a waste of money .. they should have released xs and xsmax for the ones who wants a faster and better phone ... and QUALCOMM should stop making so many socs .... they deliver midrage socs with cpu faster than a flagship model and they develop flagship models that behaves as apple last year model or more .. cant belive it...... stop this stupid thing and focus on what really matters make money and have happy customers.

                          Apple should start selling the A10 and A11 to Android OEMs at the same prices as SD835 and SD845. In couple of months they will anihilate qualcomm.

                                      As a German consumer, this is bs because those phones are not delivered anymore to Germany so they will get more expensive. Thank you Qualcomm, you a**holes

                                        Good work Qualcomm. Apple deserve this.
