09 April 2019
The Chinese company is “open” on the idea of not keeping Balong 5000 chips to itself.

No way, Trump will block this deal :)

      They can plan all they like don't mean Apple are going to by, it's just wishful thinking on Huawei part or whatever they are doing i don't really care, its just another commie gov controlled company.

              First Qualcomm is the #1 SoC maker

              Qualcomm SoC is faster than Intel..... But
              Intel will be paying Qualcomm for patents Qualcomm own.

              Apple indirectly will be paying for those patents

              There is a linked story Apple have stopped selling iPhones which have the Intel SoC as these are the patent infringed devices which are "banned" after various court rulings

              As I read this in the comments section Apple want to pay $1.50 per iPhone Qualcomm want $7.50 per iPhone

              Another article both Samsung & Qualcomm are not selling 5G modem to Apple

              Apple can't just up sticks and get it from Intel, Courts have already ruled on this, Apple will 99.999% be banned from importing any Intel chip used in any future iPhone, if not banned Apple will pay punitive damages having had been found guilty, well above the $7.50

              There is nothing to stop Apple using Intel however Qualcomm will be Imo charging $7.50 less any volume discount, I doubt if Intel will be charging $1.50 per iPhone

              Qualcomm not receiving royalties and IPhones displaying patented tech, Qualcomm legal sent letters to Apple
              FYI all the leg work was already done before Apple joined in 2007, IOS is not Apple it is a Nokia licensed Operating System Apple didn't just up and design IoS from scratch, it used Nokia patented parts.

              What that means is Nokia gets paid for every device that has IOS running

                goodbye western security. china will then rule the world because of blind fanatics.

                  :LOL obviously we know why they are targeting Apple as a local hostile country. But as most people analysed most likely Apple will not move into that direction so instead of focusing on Apple why not push the 5G chip into Motorola at least its owned by China.

                    Qualcomm's X55 platform (the 5G competitor for Huawei Balong 5000) is still on paper and wont be on market for a year. Though it's little bit embarrassing for US goverment, if somehow Apple get Huawei's 5G platform, it will certainly give them a competitive advantage.

                        Don't think Apple will bite. but if they did. they'll be risking their security foundation that they're proud of.

                          It would be so hilarious if this ends up happening.

                          I'd like it to be real just to see the reaction of people when it happens.

                              Huawei will sell their modem to Apple, apple will get banned due to security risk and fall from top 5 lol nice strategy Huawei

                                    Anonymous, 09 Apr 2019Intel's 5G still long way to go. https://appleinsider.com/... moreWe all know this year is useless for 5G
                                    The big thing is from 2020 and forward where Intel it will provide 5G into the iphone 12
                                    Also Qualcome
                                    "Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon said Thursday that the company would be happy to consider working with Apple on its 5G plans if their reported struggles to bring a product to market continue. We’re still in San Diego, they have our phone number. If they call, we’ll support them."

                                    Legal battle doesnt matter, money is money for QC, hey , they can pay Apple if they lose from the 5G modems if Apple want 5g QC modems
                                    So again these are officials statements
                                    Apple will never have problem with having the chips as long as they have the money

                                      Huawei know, it will not going to happen.
                                      US government will not allow Apple using Huawei 5 G modem.

                                        There is still legal battle between Apple and Qualcomm. Apple will not surrender easily and Qualcomm will not give apple 5G modem before Apple surrender and pay all royalty.
