Qualcomm It is undoubtedly one of the most important chip manufacturers in the world, despite the fact that brands such as Samsung or Huawei are increasingly opting for in-house manufacturing, we still have the Snapdragon range as the fastest and most efficient processors on the Android landscape, at the Caesar what is Caesar's.
However, bad relationship due to collection of illegitimate royalties that Apple and Qualcomm maintain is claiming many victims, and it is generally Qualcomm that loses in all this. In this case Apple is fighting back against Qualcomm and is "stealing" engineers to make its own processors.
One of Apple's aspirations is to separate itself from Samsung and TSMC as manufacturers of processors and displays, despite the fact that in the case of processors, it is Apple who designs them and TSMC who assembles them. However, the Cupertino firm aspires to manufacture its own processors or connectivity chips sooner rather than later (the chip that Qualcomm manufactured for Apple until now), separating itself from Intel at that time. For this you need skilled labor, and what better place to pick it up than directly from Qualcomm, a company that owns some of the best engineers.
According to Bloomberg, Apple is hiring engineers left and right in the San Diego, California, area, where Qualcomm's headquarters are located. They are looking for specialists in wireless connectivity components, precisely those who work in the company. Be that as it may, Apple wants to stop supporting companies that accidentally limit their development and become competition (like Samsung), so the best alternative is to bet on their own creation. This may be an important step for Apple products to one day lower their price and for much more investment in innovation.
