The rumors between Qualcomm and Apple involve the same amount of billions of dollars filed by both parties. It all started after Apple accused Qualcomm of asking for royalty payments at unreasonable prices and refused to stop payments. Qualcomm does not want to surrender until it sells Apple mobile devices barred from selling.
According to the
Wall Street Journal report, this has forced Apple to no longer use
Qualcomm LTE chips on all their 2018 products. The same report said Qualcomm stopped software sharing to test the modem with Apple. But according to them also the software to test the chip for the next generation has been tested and shared with Apple.
The use of different LTE chips has been done by Apple before. At iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, Qualcomm and Intel output modems are used depending on different telecommunications companies. If Apple stops using Qualcomm LTE chips, they may depend on Intel or MediaTek chips.
