Apple and Qualcomm renew patent deal as modem shift deepens
Original: Apple, Qualcomm renew patent deal, iPhone modem shift deepens
Apple and Qualcomm have renewed their patent licensing agreement, extending a partnership that has long covered the chips inside iPhones. At the same time, Apple continues moving toward its own in-house modems, reducing reliance on Qualcomm components. The renewal gives Apple flexibility during the transition, while Qualcomm secures licensing revenue even as its chip share in iPhones shrinks.
Why now: Apple's shift to in-house modem technology is a major strategic move for the smartphone industry
