They always had problems adopting industry standards.

It’s more of a spectrum / bandwidth allocation standard that’s always changing - personally just use Qualcomm and be effin done with it Apple - seems to be the too hard basket.

I’m all for competition but Apple really do lack in the 5G arena…. With their own silicon anyway.

I have ZERO idea how this is perfectly legal and not something the EU/USA have gone after. Qualcomm's patents effectively make it the only company capable of building a high performance modem with good battery life.

From Apple's perspective they have to pay a competitor to use their product that is simply inferior to integrating a modem into their silicon because patents. It's very stupid.

Even on Windows laptops, we can't get x86 laptops with built in cellular connectivity standard because of these patents mainly.

The fact Apple bought out Intel's entire failed modem division and it is still struggling is insane. This shouldn't be legal.
