Also in the Graphics Card Department, rather than just NVIDIA/AMD there should be another 1 to compete, sadly Intel ditch their Desktop GPU.

The court case could go either way
Apple 2020 launch if 5G could be put in serious jeopardy or delayed and Qualcomm could cut off its nose to spite its face and NOT supply Apple with modems
Apple has already lost court cases for 4G Intel modem iPhone as these utilise Qualcomm patented technology which Qualcomm has a right to
Apple imo realise you can't bully a person who owns property
Apple was the first $ trillion company, much smaller companies will have to pay Qualcomm licencing fees
Intel would need to have a licencing arrangement with Qualcomm so whatever Intel charges Apple would be reduced by the fees it has to pay Qualcomm
FYI IOS is a Nokia licenced software, Apple didn't in 2006, 2007 design IOS from scratch, essential parts are Nokia patented processes.
Nokia sued Apple, Apple then like now threw in the towel, to be blunt Apple pays Nokia a fee for every device that uses IoS

I think, Intel was the reason Apple was pushed into having to sign that settlement. Remember, that is just a settlement for the theft Apple did on Intel's behalf. Nothing and future deals.
I wouldn't be surprised if Intel sold Apple out as a thank you for working on a desktop processor. "Leaked" definitive evidence to Qualcomm showing how Apple had given Intel illegal blueprints.

Intel has been a loser on all fronts (Except for laptop processors) for a long time. The only reason i won't wish them complete failure is because there needs to be competition, otherwise AMD would become just like them, or even worse.

my hunch is that Intel actually really already wanted to quit as a 5G modem player. they just waited for Apple and Qualcomm to seal a deal, then they announced it. had they announced it before Apple and Qualcomm's deal, it would put Apple in a terrible position and Qualcomm would have totally humiliated Apple with a disadvantageous deal.

This was a bad decision by Intel. Apple isn't the only phone maker, plus 5G modem can be used in laptop/tablets/cars etc ... So there will be many customers for their 5G modem.
