Not sure who this is more embarrassing for, Apple or Intel. Neither are having a very good year. https://t.co/GPPngxJPUK

Apple, Qualcomm agree to settle litigation world wide. "The settlement includes a payment from Apple to Qualcomm. The companies also have reached a six-year license agreement, effective as of April 1, 2019" https://t.co/FayK2nE87Y

Damn, #Qualcomm just pummeled #Apple silly. I told you this would happen.https://t.co/IuUdqOgM0S

Everything I researched said Apple would lose and lose badly. They did.
Update from the Apple trial: lawyer is now talking about how he enjoys KFC fried chicken - and compares it to Qualcomm’s business/licensing model.

The deal between Qualcomm and Apple caught the technology industry by surprise. The case had become so ugly and so personal that observers thought Apple was unlikely to settle quickly. https://t.co/p6OuaK4SgH

Ok so let's recap. Apple makes up with Qualcomm a few days into their jury trial, agreeing to pay royalties and opting for a 6-year licensing deal. Why? Because it needs a 5G modem and Intel's wasn't good enough. So license Qualcomm's the right way until it can build its own.

Holy shit. @Intel just announced they're exiting the 5G modem business. Makes sense why @Apple v @Qualcomm settled #aaplqcom

"Apple's conduct amid Qualcomm litigation appears to have been shady and vindictive, its bet on Intel was a bust, and 5G tech ultimately beat it into submission"
— Paul Thurrott (@thurrott) April 17, 2019
Exactly right.
This is stunning. Intel was once synonymous with consumer computing devices, inside 8 of 10 PCs. By abandoning smartphones Intel is saying it no longer wants a role in today's most important client computing devices. https://t.co/IjWySyqf4P

This is the literal definition of 'ignominious'.

More from Intel. Sounds like they are open to various options including selling some IP.

This is pretty astounding. I’ve never seen a major market shift happen this fast. https://t.co/iJYEFUg1ir
Intel likely decided they didn’t want to be in the modem business as new management took over. That was likely the first ball to drop.

Apple saw the writing on the wall and needed to settle sooner than later.
All the days events feel very coordinated.

모뎀에서 마음이 떠난 인텔이 열심히 안 한다는 풍문에 지친 애플이 에라 모르겠다 퀄컴에 숙이고 들어간 모양새. 인텔의 통신 기술자가 애플로 몰려가면 6년 이내에 퀄컴을 대체할 모뎀을 직접 만들 수 있을지도 모른다는 것이 희망. 5G도 아이폰이 필요하니 모두 안도 https://t.co/MDjGjPWUzI

These are all good points from @gruber, but it is still a mystery why Apple let this go all the way to the first day of a trial - and what specifically happened on that first day that shifted the negotiations https://t.co/QkwHIMXdX7
