    Like it really matters OMG.
    Others could sell such low too.
    If i for example find a solution (no matter how futuristic it will sounds) a solution where i can make a flagship grade phone with a specs and a value of let say 5000 eur worth but by using a cloning technology will make 100 000 000 devices where each of them will cost me a single penny so n other words will sell those devices for example for 5 cents and will make a 4 cents profit on each of them.
    I am doing a bad job?
    No i am selling for profit and others who loosing a profit because they cant go such low and sell for a loss will not bother me at all.
    In other words its all about the company and product at which price is sold.
    If my company for example will sell the Samsung A15 for 500 euros and someone will be buy its his choice if said phone my company will sell under the price for example for 15 euros its also my choice how i am managing my sales.
    Still dont understand why this concerns someones.

    Of course earphones bought on Teemu will cost less than 1 eur and same looking earphones made by Bose company will be sold for 400 like who cares.
    Each individual will buy what he can afford.

It really operates as a neutral patent holding company for all the players in the fab space, and just manufactures fab equipment. And besides, although they may be technically headquartered in the Netherlands, all the real design work is done outside of San Diego by former Intel and Qualcomm engineers. It's only headquartered in the Netherlands because Philips used to be relevant in this space, 40 years ago.

                  This fine is not for qualcom.... it is for us...consumers have to pay the money ultimately

                    And this is why competition is always a good thing to have. Monopoly or duopoly isn't going to help innovation.

                      I am really thankful for EU who bring such big comapnies to book.
                      They literally forced Apple to adapt the USB C ports. Otherwise all iPhone users would have to be stuck on outdated and proprietary lightning.

                        And how is Apple still not convicted for its predatory pricing 🤷🏻‍♀️

                          Well if Mediatek and Unisoc created a better SOC, qualcomm price will drop.

                            EU: we have nothing of value to contribute to the tech world… so we’ll fine them ALL 😈

                              Qualcomm is one of those companies that no one likes doing business with.

                                Mediatek wins by doing nothing.

                                  Sime may agree and some disagree, but it's the line.

                                    A fine for charging too low prices. Increase your prices Qualcomm

                                      The fine is way too low considering Qualcomm has been pulling this since 2009

                                        €242 million to €238.7

                                        Looks like a lower clocked version of the pricing

                                        Maybe the money overheated /throttled
