Qualcomm says Apple $7 billion behind in royalty payments
FILE PHOTO: An Apple logo is seen in a store in Los Angeles, California, U.S., March 24, 2017. REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson (Reuters) - Qualcomm Inc (QCOM.O) said in a court hearing on Friday that Apple Inc (AAPL.O) is $7 billion behind in patent royalty payments to the mobile chip firm, which for years supplied parts for the iPhone. Apple and Qualcomm are involved in a series legal actions. Apple has accused Qualcomm of unfair patent licensing practices. Qualcomm, the world’s largest mobile phone chip supplier, has in turn accused Apple of patent infringement. Qualcomm made its comments about the size of Apple’s unpaid royalties in a hearing in one of the cases in federal court in San Diego. Apple has disputed the amount of royalties that it owes to Qualcomm. Apple has argued that Qualcomm is forcing it to pay for the same patents twice, once when Apple uses Qualcomm’s chip in iPhones and then again through patent royalties. Qualcomm has argued that its practices … [Read more...] about Qualcomm says Apple $7 billion behind in royalty payments

Apple’s iOS 11.3 release notes just leaked – here are all the new features coming to your iPhone
Yesterday, Apple took the bizarre step of releasing iOS 11.3, but only for the new 9.7-inch iPad — which isn’t even on shelves in store yet. A move like that almost guarantees that the update is going to land any day now, and in another sign that the release date is imminent, a French developer shared the full release notes for iOS 11.3 on Twitter this morning. At this point, we’ve been through so many beta versions of iOS 11.3 that there’s no real surprises left in store. As we could tell from the betas, Apple’s new battery health features will be the highlight of this update, although they’re going to be stuck in beta. Don't Miss: Pixelbook is the best Chromebook you can buy, and Amazon slashed $100 off all three models The new features are contained within a new “Battery Health” menu, which is under the “Battery” tab on iOS 11.3.
