Thread regarding Qualcomm Inc. layoffs

MAV given 5G baseband source code??? Is this true???

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/17/apple-will-release-two-iphones-with-5g-in-2020-top-analyst-says.html

"... Apple is building its own 5G chip that will be ready for later iPhones in 2022 or 2023 and that “the content of Apple and Qualcomm’s previous settlement includes Qualcomm’s release of partly 5G baseband chip source code to Apple for Apple’s development of [its] own 5G” technologies."

Is this normal to give away the secret sauce? SM/CA bonuses had to be paid for somehow I suppose ...

If Apple can get it done to compete against China then American companies should collaborate. Many tech companies gave China source code for free for many years due to greedy execs wanting a few percentage share in China's market. Now China is way ahead of US, so if Apple and Qualcomm can come up with something better then what China has, then American companies should work together and share the profits. Make it in USA and sell to the world with better security.

Wouldnt suprise me. Management is already bending backwards to their demands. So much for "treating them as any other customer"....
