Imfazwe yangoku phakathi kweQulacomm kunye neApple inyanzelise inkampani esekwe eCupertino ukuba iphantse itshintshe umthengisi weetshipsi ze-LTE. Kude kube ngoku, umenzi othathe phantse i-100% yee-odolo yayiyiQualcomm, Kodwa yonke into ibonakala ibonisa ukuba iApple ifuna ukwenza izivumelwano ezimbalwa ngangokunokwenzeka ngale nkampani nakwi-iPhone 2018, i-Intel iya kuba ngumthengisi omkhulu we-chip.
Imithombo engaqinisekiswanga ibhengeze iNkampani ekhawulezayo ukuba uninzi lweodolo yeetshipsi ze-LTE ziya kwenziwa kwi-Intel, ngakumbi I-70%, ngelixa enye, i-30%, iya kubonelelwa yiQualcomm. Ngokufanelekileyo, umvelisi weprosesa i-Intel akanayo indawo eyoneleyo yokubonelela ngemfuno ephezulu ye-Apple, yiyo loo nto inkampani esekwe eCupertino yayingafuni ukuvala iingcango ngokupheleleyo.
Ezi ndaba ziqinisekisa kuphela oko uMing-Chi Kuo sele ebhengezile kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, ngeengxelo zakhe. Le ngxelo yatsho ukuba I-Apple inokunyusa kakhulu ipesenti yeeodolo zeetshipsi zeLTE I-Intel yokwenzakalisa iQualcomm, ngenxa yedabi elisemthethweni phakathi kweenkampani zombini.
Nangona kunjalo, iThe Wall Street Journal yathi I-Apple inokusebenzisa kuphela iichips ezivela kwi-Intel kunye neMediaTek (Umvelisi weprosesa waseTshayina) ukuze ayeke ukusebenza neQualcomm, kodwa ngokweNkampani ekhawulezayo ubudlelwane beshishini kunye neQualcomm buya kuqhubeka nokusebenza.
Izakuba kunyaka ozayo xa I-Intel ukuba inoxanduva olupheleleyo lwazo zonke iimfuno ze-Apple, Ukuphelisa naluphi na ubudlelwane kunye neQualcomm kwihlumelo, ubudlelwane obuqale ukuphazamiseka xa eli lizwe lamangalela iApple kungaphantsi konyaka ophelileyo.
I-iPhone yokuqala yokusebenzisa iichips ze-Intel ze-LTE yayiyi-iPhone 7, ekhutshwe ngo-2016, unyaka apho I-Qualcomm iyekile ukubangumboneleli weetshiphusi ze-LTE yeApple iPhones. Ukusukela ngoku, ubukho be-Intel kwizixhobo zeApple zikhulile.
