I don't think so. Qualcomm has disclosed that the Apple contract manufacturers like Foxconn pay the royalty on the iPhone. If Foxconn pays a royalty based on the price at which they sell the phone to Apple then these changes do little if anything to help appease Apple.

I think I remember an analyst estimating iPhone royalty at $10 to $12 per device. One way to get there is 2.5% x 400 to $480. So does the latest change impact Apple?
OP doesn‘t seem to be very good at math.
Wow, so since Apple is already pissed off let's make everyone else feel better so we don't have a complete revolt!
It's probably that Qualcomm would be embarrassed to tell it's customers that Apple had a way better deal than they did so maybe these changes help everyone else get to a more like Apple royalty?
