    It's all moot in 3 years when Apple brings to market its own chips.   This deal is just a bridge to get there.   And then Qualcomm will be shown the proverbial door.  And, the FTC anti-monoply trail is still upcoming - that could turn this all on its head on its own 

    But you'd never know this looking at the QCOM stock surge over the last couple of days 
    They just signed a 6 yr deal. What makes you think Apple can pull of their own 5G chip? They couldn't even make a charging pad.

    Steve probably gave more than 40 Billion to charity but he never bragged about it.
    I don’t think Steve is ever big on charity. Even if he was, when he passed away, his net worth was around 10.8B. Pretty far from 40B.
    I don't want to be evil but Steve was a huge cheapo. If he lived longer he could've been the next bill gates. Unfortunate he didn't and he was never known as a generous giver.
