1. We have no evidence that Apple did anything wrong. And so until a court rules either way we should default to them being innocent.
2. Qualcomm is unquestionably more dodgy than Apple. They have been convicted of market abuse and have engaged in anti-competitive practices for quite some time now. I don't think anyone should feel sympathy for them.
3. You have made unfounded allegations that Apple lied to countries around the world. So I would question your bias in this case.
Qualcomm has been found guilty in two separate antitrust actions recently in the EU, with a third antitrust action getting underway in the last couple of months.
They are currently the subject of another antitrust action in the US.
In addition, several other nations have recently found them guilty in antitrust actions of their own.
Given their behavior, and the Billions in fines they have recently been ordered to pay for said illegal behavior, I'm not certain why anyone would still be willing to accept their claims without proof.
1. Sure, contrary to some views here that Apple is too big, too talented, or too successful to do any wrong (see bsimpson's comment), we do have plenty of historical evidence that Apple is fully "capable" of doing so.
2. Nobody said Qualcomm was a model corporate citizen or too big, talented, or successful to do any wrong. All companies including Apple engage in unethical behavior in pursuit of profit.
3. Wrong, I haven't made any unfounded allegation. I stated Qualcomm alleged Apple made false testimony to regulators around the world; hence their cancellation of rebates that started the US lawsuit. Also, wrt Apple's assertion on Qualcomm's FRAND violation, Apple has made the same empty accusation against all wireless IP holders of FRAND violation with absolutely zero evidence over past 10 years -- Apple hasn't provided any evidence this time around either.
