  • First look: Apple TV 4K with tweaked Siri remote design

    ClarityToSeeClarityToSee
    Have been looking forward to a more beefier  4K HDR Apple TV for a long time now.  Can’t wait to get my hands on it as we AirPlay and stream everything. 100% use of our TV in the house is as described above as we have had no cable TV or DVD player for about six years now.

    1. Qualcommm has the best LTE Modem.
    2. Qualcomm Charges too much for it.

    That is it.

    The article try to spin as if Qualcomm modem dont do what they advertise. That is the problem of the Network, not its modem. So it is not Qualcomm's smokescreen.

    And because of its tech, Qualcomm WILL provider faster data rate compared to Intel at the same environment. More CA, higher efficiency. etc.

    I really do hate Apple fan site tries to spin the story to flavor Apple whenever possible,

    And this is writing as an Apple fan as well.
    It doesn’t matter if you have 1Gbps modem provided by QCOM, if the average download speed is only 17Mbps. Intel’s modem of 600Mbps will do just as fine as QCOM’s in the real world scenarios with LITTLE to NO noticeable difference. 
    Currently Apple buys their modems from both QCOM and INTEL. Apple would like to move away from QCOM altogether. However, considering their scale, it’s not practical at this time. On the other hand, QCOM would like to get back at Apple and teach them a lesson. But their hands are tied, again because of scale. If they intentionally stop supplying to Apple. They might as well put up a “Fool” sticker on their forehead for refusing to do business with the largest of the largest customer. It will seriously effect their revenues. Say 25%. That would cause even more serious problems for QCOM then currently at hand. Therefore, FOR NOW, I’m afraid APPLE is stuck with around 50/50 split between QCOM AND INTEL, fast moving towards Intel as their position becomes stronger slowly. 
    Finally, Apple should challenge QCOM and win. Apple is a values based company unlike others. This is a matter of principle for Apple and Monopolistic abuse by QCOM. You wouldn’t pay for the same bread twice at your supermarket. Would you?? Maybe if it’s the only supermarket in the World and you have no other choice. With a newcomer just coming on the block (Intel), you don’t have to anymore.
