Qualcomm has retaliated by beginning to campaign globally to halt sales of iPhones over apparent violations of some patents it holds that Apple hasn’t gained a license to use.
It’s no secret that Qualcomm ( NASDAQ:QCOM) and Apple ( NASDAQ:AAPL) have a relationship that is in the toilet, so to speak. Things really began to take a turn for the worst when in 2017,Apple filed suit against Qualcomm for charging more for their modems sold to Apple compared to other smartphone manufacturers.
Qualcomm was said to have withheld over $1 billion in rebates owed to them over the fact that Apple gave information to legal authorities, which may have led to an $857 million USD fine levied against Qualcomm in South Korea.
