Apple claims Qualcomm wouldn’t sell it 5G chips, delaying transition
Apple is claiming that it was interested to continue working with Qualcomm on modems, but that it was forced to start second-sourcing from Intel as a result of Qualcomm’s intransigence on the modem issue. In fact, Apple’s shift to 5G has been delayed because it must rely solely on Intel modems, and Intel doesn’t expect to make the shift to 5G until 2020.
