Yeah - because a company like Apple doesn't know taking away source code and giving it away to a competitor like Intel is a gross violation of any legal standard out there. And Intel, on their part, would be like sure, give it to us because this is totally cool!

I bet this is a narrative fueled up by Qualcomm vs. any basis in reality. If it is real, then most likely this was done inadvertently.




Yes, Qualcomm is accusing both the Apple and the Intel engineers of wrongdoing. And my money is on their discussion was about some timing or signal format issue that is actually published in a difficult to understand standard somewhere. Which is why an Apple and an Intel engineer thought it was ok to have that discussion with a Qualcomm engineer.


"If it is real, then most likely this was done inadvertently."

That's probably not going to help much, even if it is true.


Read my first sentence too.


No one cares why someone broke a law.
