Jag är inte så insatt, men det verkar vara fler än Apple som tycker Qualcomm ber om för mycket: https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/19/apple-suppliers-counters...
Plus kommentaren (till samma artikel) här:
”Lets not forget Samsung, Intel, and the US FTC have also filed suit earlier this year against Qualcomm. It seems universally agreed that Qualcomm has essentially been extorting technology manufactures and hampering innovation with anti-competitive practices. At this point it looks like Qualcomm v. The World. I don't predict Qualcomm to be a winner in that battle.”

Tycker nog Apple gör en fulare grej med detta:

Nu handlade ju den här artikeln om Qualcomms avgiftskrav så vi borde kanske inte borde göra så att tråden spårar ur men förklaringen till Apples agerande finns ju i artikeln.
Then came in-app purchases and value starting moving from one big up front purchase to bursts of micro-payments over time.
Then came subscriptions, where up-front costs were zero regardless of how much was earned over time.
Giant internet companies and VC-backed startups also filled the store with, in some cases, amazing apps that were completely free to download, and monetized themselves in ways completely outside the store — and thus the affiliate model.
Last year, Apple announced it was dropping App Store affiliate rates from 7%t to 2.5%, then walked it back to 7-percent, but kept the drop on AIP commissions.
Long before that, though, iMore saw revenue from the App Store affiliate program just plummet.
När de flesta appar finansieras av köp inuti appen funkar inte längre affiliatemodellen. Det fattar också människor, också de upprörda citaten opponerars sig mot vad de uppfattar som en kall ton i brevet (princessor på ärten) snarare än själva innehållet.
Hur det är jämförbart med att hålla hela den mobila industrin som patentgisslan och använda det för antikompetitiva metoder för att hindra att konkurrenter kan växa till sig - tja....
