When does the company launch 5g mobile phone

What happened to apple and Qualcomm? It's really amazing that the old tension has changed into the present handshake. Let's get to know it. Apple and Qualcomm announced in a joint statement on the 16th local time that they have reached an agreement to withdraw all ongoing legal proceedings against each other around the world, AP reported. Analysts believe that this will help Apple launch 5g phones as soon as possible.

According to the report, apple and Qualcomm have reached a settlement agreement in San Diego court, California, under which Apple will pay one-time patent licensing fee to Qualcomm, and Qualcomm will transfer chip and its technology license to apple. The two sides also issued a statement saying that the global legal disputes between apple and Qualcomm will be eliminated. The settlement agreement will come into effect on April 1, 2019, and is valid for six years, which can be extended for two years. However, the two sides did not disclose the amount of the specific agreement. In addition, the two sides also reached a chip supply agreement for several years, but the specific amount involved in the agreement has not been announced. 'it can be made clear that Apple will continue to pay the patent fee to Qualcomm, rather than returning the patent fee to apple. 'market analysts said.

After the news of a comprehensive settlement between Qualcomm and apple came out, the share price of Qualcomm soared. By the end of the day, the U.S. stock market closed 23.21% higher, with its share price hitting a new half year high and the biggest one-day gain since 1999, with its market value soaring to US $85.26 billion; while Apple's share price experienced a slight shock, with a slight rise of 0.01%. According to the company's forecast, the agreement with apple and the resumption of chip supply to Apple will increase the company's earnings per share by $2. Qualcomm's latest quarterly results will be released on May 1.

In the 5g area, Apple was unable to use the 5g chip of Qualcomm due to the failure to reach an agreement quickly. According to Reuters, apple does not want to have only one supplier in its component supply chain, but Qualcomm has a leading edge in baseband chips. At present, Intel, Apple's only baseband supplier, has made slow progress in product performance and evolution. At the beginning of this year, apple said that the iPhone would not adopt the new 5g chip produced by Qualcomm, leaving the iPhone one step behind its Android competitors.

Industry insiders pointed out that the reconciliation between the two companies is expected to lay a foundation for win-win cooperation between the two sides. If we can use the 5g baseband chip of Qualcomm, apple is expected to launch 5g mobile phone earlier than expected. Meanwhile, to a large extent, Qualcomm can get rid of the industry's doubts about its patent licensing mode and consolidate its profit model. The increase in baseband chip shipments will also help to improve its revenue.
