Η Qualcomm is in a legal dispute with Apple over the rights to use the modem chipset, with Apple being accused of revealing the "secrets" of the chipsets to Intel, which supplies the iPhone with its own modems.
According to Reuters, during the lawsuit that took place on Friday, Qualcomm stated that Apple owes it $ 7 billion for usage rights while the company from Cupertino accuses Qualcomm of failing to grant a license to use basic patents that must be used by a manufacturer to comply with industry standards.
Apple denies that it owes that much money to Qualcomm and states that it has been charged twice for the same patent since the company is asking for money both for the use of chipsets in the iPhone and for the rights to use the patent. Qualcomm, in turn, states that its practices are legal and seeks to be justified by the payment of 7 billion dollars from Apple and the opposition to the companies to inflate.
