Apple stops paying iPhone patent royalties to Qualcomm
Technology major Apple has stopped paying royalties to its iPhone manufacturers like Foxconn for patents owned by Qualcomm. This comes amid Apple's $1 billion lawsuit against the chipmaker, claiming that Qualcomm has been charging excessive royalties. In April, Qualcomm countersued Apple for not "utilising the full performance" of its modem chips in iPhone 7 smartphones.
