We were told to ignore intellectual property rights when designing the modem. There was even a conspiracy to copy Qualcomm's technology by hints from Apple about the "reference device". Now the chickens come home to roost.

And the downfall of Apple starts!
Criminals will always be criminals no matter if they work robbing banks or stealing ip.
For the IP theft, does that mean jail time and deportations. Does that also mean some H1B's that are not citizens that were involved. Thousands of them will leaving.
Apple colluded with Intel to steal Q's modem IP and use it in Intel's modems (and in a few years, Apple modems). Win-win arrangement. This is clear as day.
iCDG/Infineon modem engineers just copy paste old products without any innovation. They can't compete with Q modems so they try and copy them.
Anyone remember the infamous Q codes shared with the so-called engineers by Apple.
Without Apple coaching and managing you losers, you couldn't produce a modem.
I smell BS with that comment
Qualcomm is really desparate!
"Intel powered iPhones"....I wish such a statement ever comes true. This is actually great news for Intel. The more Qualcomm pisses off Apple, the more Apple will look for alternative suppliers.
