without a doubt, the 2020 iPhone is going to be a rush job shipped with loose ends. It doesn't bode well when QC has to publicly state that they're scrambling.
I'll wait for 2021

It's an artificial race. It doesn't matter who's first because at the end of the day all major economies will transition to 5g regardless. Did anyone really care who transitioned to 4G LTE firs? Nope.
You have no idea what you're talking about.I'd guess Apple isn't nearly as worried about Intel modems as the vocal minority here. Because most people have no idea what they have.
Apple would rather skip features than introduce phones laterSo that means the next iPhones are likely going to be late?
Rubbish. I still don't even get 100% of 4G here in the UK, about 20% of the time I still have 3G.
PS: Using iPhone 11 Pro and Three network(UK). How about achieving 100% of 4G, before moving onto 5G!
If you think most people know what modem they have in their iPhone, I have another bill of goods to sell you.You have no idea what you're talking about.
It's all business. Apple is going to drop QCOM whenever they don't need them anymore. It's good they can benefit from them for now and they got terms they could live with.Nothing to do with the modems themselves. During the lawsuits, Qualcomm burned their bridge with Apple -- Apple will be moving quickly so they are never reliant on them again. Probably not in time for the 2020 iPhone, but the writing is on the wall.
You're wrong and never really provide proof of your claims.If you think most people know what modem they have in their iPhone, I have another bill of goods to sell you.
Apple couldn't have put a modem that is described here in an iPhone. The Intel modems are WAY less terrible than you'd read here.
The race is on! Apparently...
But, why?

Sure. Qualcomm was supposed to get over $7 billion and ended up with $4.5.Tim Cook set out to change the way Qualcomm fundamentally does business. Qualcomm still does business the same way.
Apple didn't like the "no license, no chips" policy. End result? Apple ponied up $4.5 billion and signed a multi-year license deal. You don't need to sit at the table to figure out who won.
The international trade dispute is the same. All that effort just to get a certain country to buy the same amount of soybeans as before.

That sure sounds like "settling" to me.
Qualcomm has lost every case so far. To think they were going to pull out a win against Apple is asinine.
Told ya‘ll the iPhone 11 Pro wont age well. No 5g.
Indeed there are a lot of scaremongering as part of US's anti-China drive. 5G is just being used as a promoter of this, along with Huawei spying, manufacturing jobs, SCS amongst others.The race is on! Apparently...

I will not have a car until my horse and cart has been fully utilised and optimised!
Sure. Like Apple didn’t feel any heat to incorporate 5G into their devices to remain competitive with others. It’s not like Apple signed a 4.5 billion multi year agreement or anything. Qualcomm had Apple by the balls here.
From someone who has posted zero facts.You're wrong and never really provide proof of your claims.
