新浪科技讯 北京时间1月23日早间消息,美国科技媒体9to5 Mac援引彭博社本周刊登报道,详细介绍了苹果手机系统架构总监马蒂亚斯·萨奥尔(Matthias Sauer)如何向公司解释,苹果向除高通以外的供应商寻求4G基带芯片供货,但没有任何公司能及时提供已做好准备的此类芯片。
这个消息对高通来说是利好。高通正在应对指控,即该公司近乎垄断的市场地位迫使手机制造商支付固定的、过高的芯片授权费。
近期,苹果和高通之间的纠纷正愈演愈烈。苹果首席运营官杰夫·威廉姆斯(Jeff Williams)被发现推动苹果在iPhone XS、XS Max和XR中使用高通芯片,但高通拒绝与苹果做生意。
就在几天后,高通表示,如果没有高通,iPhone“将不可能存在”。至少在本周二美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)的听证中,高通试图证明这点。
周二是高通首次有机会陈述自己的立场。该公司表示,FTC的诉讼基于“有缺陷的法律理论”。高通认为,客户选择高通芯片因为高通芯片是最好的,而且高通从未停止向客户提供处理器,即使双方关于授权存在纠纷。
关于萨奥尔的证词,他解释称,苹果早在2012年就寻求爱立信、博通和英特尔提供服务,但没有一家公司能达到苹果需要的技术标准。
萨奥尔表示,早在2012年的新产品规划阶段,苹果就将爱立信、博通和英特尔等公司列为设备的元件供应商,但这些公司的产品都没有达到苹果期望的技术标准。直到2016年9月苹果发布iPhone 7,除高通之外,没有任何其它公司可以为支持LTE的苹果设备供应芯片。
他还对FTC表示,苹果决定在2014年款iPad中跳过英特尔芯片不是基于技术原因,而是业务原因。苹果提出的技术标准,包括对载波聚合的支持,最终都被证明对这款产品是不必要的。(邱越)

Apple acknowledges that there are no other 4G baseband chip suppliers other than Qualcomm.

Sina Technology News Beijing time on January 23 morning news, the US technology media 9to5 Mac cited Bloomberg this week to publish a report detailing how Apple's mobile phone system architecture director Matthias Sauer (Matthias Sauer) explained to the company, Apple is looking for 4G baseband chips from suppliers other than Qualcomm, but no company can provide such chips that are ready in time.

This news is good for Qualcomm. Qualcomm is responding to the allegations that the company's near-monopoly market position is forcing handset manufacturers to pay fixed, excessive chip licensing fees.

Recently, the dispute between Apple and Qualcomm is getting worse. Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams was found to be pushing Apple to use Qualcomm chips in iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, but Qualcomm declined to do business with Apple.

Just a few days later, Qualcomm said that without Qualcomm, the iPhone "will not exist." At least in the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hearing on Tuesday, Qualcomm tried to prove this.

On Tuesday, Qualcomm had the first opportunity to state its position. The company said the FTC's lawsuit was based on "defective legal theory." Qualcomm believes that customers choose Qualcomm chips because Qualcomm chips are the best, and Qualcomm has never stopped providing processors to customers, even if there is a dispute between the two parties regarding authorization.

Regarding Saul's testimony, he explained that Apple had sought services from Ericsson, Broadcom and Intel as early as 2012, but no company could meet the technical standards Apple needed.

Saor said that as early as 2012 in the new product planning phase, Apple listed companies such as Ericsson, Broadcom and Intel as component suppliers of equipment, but these companies' products did not meet Apple's expected technical standards. Until September 2016, Apple released the iPhone 7, and apart from Qualcomm, no other company could supply chips for Apple devices that support LTE.

He also told the FTC that Apple decided to skip the Intel chip in the 2014 iPad for technical reasons, but for business reasons. The technical standards proposed by Apple, including support for carrier aggregation, have finally proved to be unnecessary for this product. (Qiu Yue)

Qualcomm Gets Apple to Concede it Was the Only 4G-Ready Chip Supplier




by Usman Qureshi – 23 hours ago

According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple’s director of cellular systems architecture Matthias Sauer has conceded in FTC’s cross-examination that Qualcomm was the only 4G-ready chip maker when the mobile phone industry was transitioning to 4G back in 2012.

In his testimony last week, Sauer noted that Apple considered the likes of Ericsson, Broadcom, and Intel as component suppliers but none could deliver to Apple’s desired specifications. He also admitted that Apple’s decision to skip Intel as a chip supplier for the 2014 iPad was a business decision and not a technical one.



Sauer added that it wasn’t until Apple launched the iPhone 7 in September 2016 that anyone other than Qualcomm supplied chips for an LTE-ready Apple device.
The admission on Jan. 18 by Matthias Sauer, Apple’s director of cellular systems architecture, is the kind of point Qualcomm will have to score in front of U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh as it continues its defense against antitrust allegations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The government has charged it with using market dominance in smartphone chips to force phone makers to pay inflated patent licensing revenue.
The non-jury trial in San Jose federal court will continue for three more sessions before closing on Feb. 1.

Qualcomm Inc. lawyers got Apple Inc. to concede that when the mobile phone industry transitioned to 4G, the iPhone maker didn’t have anywhere else to go for key components.



The admission on Jan. 18 by Matthias Sauer, Apple’s director of cellular systems architecture, is the kind of point Qualcomm will have to score in front of U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh as it continues its defense against antitrust allegations by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The government has charged it with using market dominance in smartphone chips to force phone makers to pay inflated patent licensing revenue.



Sauer testified that Apple considered the likes of Ericsson, Broadcom and Intel Corp. as component suppliers for devices as early as the 2012 planning phase for new products, but none could deliver to Apple’s desired specifications. It wasn’t until Apple launched the iPhone 7 in September 2016 that anyone other than Qualcomm supplied chips for an LTE-ready Apple device.



He told the FTC in cross-examination that Apple’s decision to skip Intel as a chip supplier for the 2014 iPad was a business decision, not a technical one, and that the specifications Apple had sought, including carrier aggregation, were ultimately unnecessary for that model.


Market Dominance
Last week, Koh heard various industry representatives support the FTC’s case with examples of Qualcomm’s alleged bullying. They claimed Qualcomm has historically relied on its market dominance to lean on partners to agree to licensing payments when negotiating chip sales. Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams told the court his former supplier had cut off the iPhone maker, forcing it to give all of that business to Intel.

Qualcomm now has the chance to undermine some of that prosecution testimony against it. In its first full day of defense, Qualcomm argued its leadership in technology led customers to become dependent on it -- not illegal exclusionary practices. The patents it owns -- more than 120,000, with another 35 added every day -- are fundamental to how all phones work. Qualcomm is arguing it should be compensated accordingly. It’s also arguing that since chip competitors have now caught up, its market share has subsided.
The non-jury trial in San Jose federal court begins its ninth day Tuesday. It will continue for three more sessions before closing arguments on Feb. 1.

Someone should ask DBS that is moving its IT centre to India why Apple never source for its components there.
In fact I can't think of one company that source its IT components from India and yet we allow these people to dominate our IT sectors here!
Same thing for the Pinoys that the PAP allow to dominate the healthcare sector here-heard of anyone going for medical care in the Philippines?
Do not let them fool you by using cheap to masquerade as talent .
