In the case of Apple, they signed a contract years ago to use Qualcomm's patents and are free to renegotiate once the contract expires. Qualcomm does allow for discounts if a licensee has an appropriate substitute to one of their patents, but in the case of Apple, they also have so few patents related to cellular technologies, they should be the ones to prove that they have an acceptable substitute to those asserted by Qualcomm.
