End of story: Qualcomm and Apple reach an agreement

It seemed that he had all the power to lengthen almost indefinitely the journey between Apple and Qualcomm for their curious patent battle. In fact, this agreement comes close to being unable to reverse and everything points to the fact that the negotiations have been extraordinarily tough; the lawyers of both firms will probably receive a premium this year.

Finally Apple and Qualcomm have reached a definitive agreement to settle the dispute they have been having over communication chips, and clearly there is a company that has benefited from all this mess, can you imagine which of the two it is?

Apparently both firms have come to the conclusion that they need each other much more than they imagined, that is why Apple has agreed to pay Qualcomm a large sum of money for which the exact terms are still unknown, By way of compensation, in the same way, both companies sign an agreement for the use of their patents that will extend at least six years from April 1, and that could be extended even two more years if both companies so wish. And how could it be otherwise, Qualcomm ends up displacing Intel and will be the one who will again provide the communication chips to the iPhone in future models.

Shortly after knowing this news Qualcomm has hit a major rally in the stock market and its shares now cost almost 15% more than they cost a week ago, while Intel has taken a tangent and has decided to announce that it is abandoning the development of 5G communication chips for mobile telephony. This leaves Huawei out of the iPhone, something that had been insinuated in recent weeks, and the most important firm in this sector, Qualcomm, puts its components back into the Apple terminals, all happy.
