[text] Have you ever heard of Qualcomm innovator and creator of cell phone technology Oh yeah. Qualcomm has been inventing and licensing their ideas to tech 1 companies for L S J years. 7 10 bucks Thats obscene How can poor poor Apple the worlds largest tech company expect to survive Qualcomms blatant monopolistic practices As an Apple app developer thats the kind of question that keeps me up ar night. Did you know Apple is suing Qualcomm for having monopolistic tendencies and gouging prices 5 You bet Their patents cost Apple around 10 per iPhone. Now if youll excuse me have to pay Apple my annual 99 app developer fee plus 30 of all app sales and shop for a new Macintosh computer the y only hardware Im allowed S to use when submitting fo iTunes as mandated Y by the Apple Developer Agreement.
