Apple Demanded 1 Billion From Qualcomm To Supply iPhone Modems.

According to an article by Neowin, Apple wanted Qualcomm to pay incentive payment of $1 Billion for including Qualcomm modems in iPhones. While these practices are common among companies, Qualcomm says this request is absurd. This was revealed during one of the court case between Qualcomm and Apple.

Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf has testified at a federal courthouse in San Jose, California, that Apple demanded a $1 billion 'incentive payment' for a chance to supply the iPhone modems. The payment would ease the technical costs Apple would face switching from its then current supplier Infineon Technologies.
