Qualcomm and Apple Renew Patent Licensing Deal Through 2027
Original: Qualcomm Renews Apple Patent Pact Through 2027 [2026]
Qualcomm has renewed its patent licensing agreement with Apple, extending the arrangement through 2027. The deal keeps in place the payments Apple makes to use Qualcomm's wireless technology in iPhones, a relationship that has swung between litigation and cooperation for years. The renewal signals continued reliance on Qualcomm modems even as Apple works on its own in-house modem development.
Why now: The extension of a high-stakes licensing pact between two major tech rivals, just as Apple develops its own chips, draws close industry attention.
