Apple Says Qualcomm Refused to Sell It Modems for iPhone XS and XR

Apple COO Jeff Williams says that Qualcomm refused to sell it modems for use in the new iPhone XS and iPhone XR, affecting the company's timetable for shifting to 5G.

CNET shared details today from Williams' testimony in the FTC trial against Qualcomm which kicked off on January 4th in San Jose, California. The FTC alleges that the company engaged in anti-competitive tactics to maintain a monopoly on cellular modem chips. They highlighted the same 'no license, no chips' policy which Apple sued the company over. Qualcomm refuses to sell its chips to customers unless they also sign a patent license agreement and pay the company fees. The FTC says Qualcomm also refuses to grant licenses to rivals.
