motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • My August 2017 prediction came true yesterday. Apple surrendered and settled its modem-related legal dispute with Qualcomm.
  • Qualcomm shot up 23% during after-hours trading after the April 16 announcement that Apple and Qualcomm completed an out-of-court settlement of their legal battle.
  • Apple has tons of cash. It can afford to fight years-long of litigation against Qualcomm. Unfortunately, Apple’s current smartphone modem supplier Intel is a laggard in 5G modem design.
  • Qualcomm previously refused to supply its 4G modems to 2018 iPhones. Apple got scared that Qualcomm will again refuse to supply its 5G modems to 2019 and newer iPhones.
  • Apple had to capitulate and settle with Qualcomm so it can protect its iPhone business. 5G connectivity is the emerging de facto requirement for luxury smartphones and tablets.
