Anyway, the fun thing is that Nokia gets (because of patents) $10.60 for every iPhone sold (http://www.webpronews.com/nokia-made-more-from-iphone-sales-than-lumia-sales-2012-04). This stuff can get confusing. :-)

HTC, you are such a bunch of sell-outs. You have let these crApp£€ bullies get their way and now are consigning yourself to the dustbin.
BOYCOTT all Apple products. Unfortunately for you HTC buying HTC now means money going to the school bully crApp£€. I would like to support you, but why should we support those who don't stand up to the bullies themselves?

not for the money but to scare people off.

So Crapple will be leeching its money not earning it. And HTC does not have the balls and the brains to remove from their devices what ever cRapple is sucking from them.

Anonymous, 12 Nov 2012HTC is not really a big company. Check out the link and see... moreHTC also makes a lot of phones not under the "HTC" name. That's how the company started in the first place. Please do your research before comment. That's actually how samsung and LG started as well.

if i remember apple said they would pay Motorola $1 or less per iPhone they sell for Motorola patent, and now they are asking for $6-$8 per HTC unit this is insane, when it comes to give others patent are not worth even a $1 but apple can charge whatever they want.

Apple is so unreasonable to make court cases against possible threats to survive in the smartphone world due to fear. Apple will get return soon for this bad habit. God bless you apple.

Anonymous, 12 Nov 2012So this is how they settled? HTC has to pay Apple that much... moreNot so cheap any more...
"As many of you know, Samsung supplies several important pieces to some of Apple’s devices, including the processors. Recently, Samsung decided to ask 20% more for the cost of those processors. According to sources, Apple disapproved at first, but they could not find another source for the chips and had to accept the price increase. The report also listed the number of processors that Apple has bought from Samsung, a staggering amount of 130 million chips last year and more than 200 million this year. That price increase is going to sting a little with those numbers."

If this is true, then do you think that this agreement was reached because HTC did NOTHING WRONG??
This agreement was reached BECAUSE HTC did something wrong.
