Ondrej Holzman Apple idasumira mlandu sabata yatha motsutsana ndi Qualcomm, omwe amagulitsa chip network, akufuna $ 1 biliyoni. Ndi nkhani yovuta yokhudzana ndi ukadaulo wopanda zingwe, malipiro ndi mapangano pakati pa Qualcomm ndi makasitomala ake, koma zikuwonetsanso chifukwa chake, mwachitsanzo, MacBooks alibe LTE.
Qualcomm imalandira ndalama zake zambiri kuchokera pakupanga chip ndi chindapusa, pomwe ili ndi masauzande ambiri. Pamsika wa patent, Qualcomm ndiye mtsogoleri muukadaulo wa 3G ndi 4G, womwe umagwiritsidwa ntchito mosiyanasiyana pazida zam'manja zambiri.
Opanga samangogula tchipisi kuchokera ku Qualcomm, komanso amayenera kuwalipira chifukwa choti atha kugwiritsa ntchito matekinoloje ake, omwe nthawi zambiri amakhala ofunikira pakugwira ntchito kwa ma network am'manja. Chomwe chili chotsimikizika pakadali pano ndikuti Qualcomm imawerengera chindapusa cha laisensi kutengera mtengo wa chipangizocho chomwe ukadaulo wake uli.
Ma iPhones okwera mtengo kwambiri, ndalama zambiri za Qualcomm
Pankhani ya Apple, izi zikutanthauza kuti iPhone kapena iPad yake yokwera mtengo kwambiri, Qualcomm idzalipiritsa. Zatsopano zilizonse, monga Touch ID kapena makamera atsopano omwe amawonjezera mtengo wa foni, amawonjezera chindapusa chomwe Apple iyenera kulipira ku Qualcomm. Ndipo nthawi zambiri komanso mtengo wa chinthucho kwa kasitomala womaliza.
Komabe, Qualcomm amagwiritsa ntchito udindo wake popereka malipiro ena azachuma kwa makasitomala omwe, kuwonjezera pa matekinoloje ake, amagwiritsanso ntchito tchipisi tawo muzinthu zawo, kuti asapereke "kawiri". Ndipo apa tabwera chifukwa chomwe Apple ikusumira Qualcomm $ biliyoni imodzi, mwa zina.
Malinga ndi Apple, Qualcomm adasiya kubweza "kotala kotala" kugwa komaliza ndipo tsopano ali ndi ngongole ku Apple ndendende madola biliyoni imodzi. Komabe, kubweza komwe kwatchulidwa pamwambapa kukuwoneka kuti kumalumikizidwa ndi mgwirizano wina, womwe ndi wakuti makasitomala a Qualcomm pobwezera sangagwirizane nawo pakufufuza kulikonse.
Chaka chatha, komabe, Apple idayamba kugwirizana ndi American Trade Commission FTC, yomwe inkafufuza machitidwe a Qualcomm, motero Qualcomm adasiya kubweza ku Apple. Kufufuza kofananako posachedwapa kunachitika motsutsana ndi Qualcomm ku South Korea, komwe adalipira ndalama zokwana madola 853 miliyoni chifukwa chophwanya lamulo la antitrust komanso kuletsa mpikisano kuti apeze ma patent ake.
Bili mu mabiliyoni
Kwa zaka zisanu zapitazi, Qualcomm wakhala akugulitsa yekha Apple, koma mgwirizano wokhawo utatha, Apple adaganiza zoyang'ana kwina. Chifukwa chake, tchipisi topanda zingwe zofananira zochokera ku Intel zimapezeka pafupifupi theka la iPhone 7 ndi 7 Plus. Komabe, Qualcomm imalipiritsabe chindapusa chifukwa imaganiza kuti chipangizo chilichonse chopanda zingwe chimagwiritsa ntchito ma patent ake ambiri.
Komabe, pambuyo pa South Korea, njira yopindulitsa kwambiri ya Qualcomm yokhala ndi chiphaso cha chilolezo ikuwukiridwanso ndi American FTC ndi Apple, zomwe kampani yaikulu ya San Diego sakonda. Bizinesi yokhala ndi chindapusa ndi yopindulitsa kwambiri kuposa, mwachitsanzo, kupanga tchipisi. Ngakhale gawo lachifumu lidapereka phindu la msonkho wa $ 7,6 biliyoni pa ndalama zokwana $ 6,5 biliyoni chaka chatha, Qualcomm adatha kupanga "$ 1,8 biliyoni yokha" pazopeza zoposa $ 15 biliyoni mu tchipisi.
Qualcomm imateteza kuti machitidwe ake akungosokonezedwa ndi Apple kuti athe kulipira zochepa paukadaulo wake wamtengo wapatali. Woyimira milandu wa Qualcomm, a Don Rosenberg, adadzudzula Apple chifukwa choyambitsa kufufuza kwamakampani padziko lonse lapansi. Mwa zina, FTC sikusangalala kuti Qualcomm inakana Intel, Samsung ndi ena omwe anayesa kukambirana nawo malayisensi mwachindunji kuti athe kupanga tchipisi ta m'manja.
Kupatula apo, iyi ndi njira yomwe Qualcomm amagwiritsabe ntchito, mwachitsanzo, muubwenzi ndi Apple, pomwe sakambirana nawo chindapusa cha laisensi, koma ndi ogulitsa ake (mwachitsanzo, Foxconn). Apple imangokambirana mapangano am'mbali ndi Qualcomm, ikalipidwa kubweza komwe kwatchulidwa pamwambapa monga chindapusa cha chindapusa chomwe Apple imalipira Qualcomm kudzera ku Foxconn ndi ena ogulitsa.
MacBook yokhala ndi LTE ingakhale yokwera mtengo
Mkulu wa Apple, Tim Cook, adanena kuti sakuyang'ana milandu yofananayi, koma pankhani ya Qualcomm, kampani yake sinawone njira ina koma kuyimba mlandu. Malinga ndi Cook, malipiro tsopano ali ngati sitolo yomwe imakulipirani sofa potengera nyumba yomwe mwayikamo.

Sizikudziwika kuti mlanduwu udzapitirire bwanji komanso ngati ungakhale ndi vuto lililonse pamakampani onse amtundu wa chip ndi ukadaulo. Komabe, nkhani ya chindapusa cha ziphaso zikuwonetsa chifukwa chimodzi chomwe, mwachitsanzo, Apple sinayesere kukonzekeretsa MacBooks ake ndi ma tchipisi am'manja kuti alandire LTE. Popeza Qualcomm amawerengera zolipiritsa kuchokera pamtengo wonse wazinthuzo, izi zitha kutanthauza chiwongolero chowonjezera pamitengo yokwera kale ya MacBooks, yomwe kasitomala amayenera kulipira pang'ono pang'ono.
MacBooks okhala ndi SIM khadi slot (kapena masiku ano okhala ndi khadi yophatikizika) akhala akukambidwa mosalekeza kwa zaka zingapo. Ngakhale Apple imapereka njira yosavuta yogawana deta yam'manja ku Mac kuchokera pa iPhone kapena iPad, kusakhala ndi zinthu zotere nthawi zambiri kumakhala kothandiza kwa ogwiritsa ntchito ambiri.
Ndilo funso loti kufunikira kudzakhala kotani kwa chitsanzo choterocho, koma makompyuta ofanana kapena ma hybrids (piritsi / kope) ndi kugwirizana kwa mafoni akuyamba kuonekera pamsika, ndipo zidzakhala zosangalatsa kuwona ngati apeza malo. Mwachitsanzo, kwa anthu omwe amangoyendayenda ndikusowa intaneti kuti agwire ntchito, njira yotereyi ingakhale yabwino kusiyana ndi kutulutsa iPhone nthawi zonse kudzera pa hotspot yanu.
