Apple should by Qualcomm.
Oh wait, that would be a horrible idea.
The patents. I mean Q modems are definitely quality, but only because they bought all the patents and basically bury anyone trying to compete with them. But the patents. To Apple, that is gold. Because I imagine lots of those patents prevent Apple from making this modem (finding the right personnel aside).
No doubt this is why they stopped. But I don’t think Apple buying Qualcomm would be good for anyone - except Apple.
Apple didn't stop; this report is a just made up rumors.
