The beef I had with the Apple settlement is that it barely recovered the cost of the legalities Qualcomm was put through due to Apple's shenanigans. As to the FTC, I saw that as less of an issue once the ways of Apple and Intel were made public.

Billions have been drained from Qualcomm's coffers and that was mostly because others were unable to compete. Qualcomm enabled almost all of the global wireless universe, created Mediatek and paid to kick start wireless in almost all territories of the world.

What's gone down would have never happened under the likes of Apple nor Intel.

Many of the fines Qualcomm paid were also rather ridiculous. C'est la vie.

In the end Apple has only become less relevant, wirelessly and AI-lessly.

That's good for the world.

ps Getting Intel out of wireless was beneficial for all. Much like it will also be with Apple, eventually.
