Apple SVP Bruce Sewell interview details clash with Qualcomm over iPhone patent royalties

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/qualcomm-apple.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=998)</div><p>A new report from Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-10-04/apple-and-qualcomm-s-billion-dollar-war-over-an-18-part) goes into detail about how relations between Apple and Qualcomm soured so quickly, after years of collaboration, featuring quotes from Qualcomm executives and excerpts from a new interview with Apple SVP Bruce Sewell.</p>
<p>Sewell points out that the Qualcomm modem inside an iPhone costs Apple about $18. In addition, Apple has to pay 5 percent of the phone’s sale price. It is that royalty that Apple deems exorbitant and unfair.</p>
