Qualcomm is of the opinion that it will amicably resolve the lawsuits it has opened against the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), in various areas of the planet, in one even calling for a ban on iPhone sales. The president of Qualcomm stated that disputes like the one with Apple are not new for his company and that, looking at the past, he is confident in the fact that this dispute will also be resolved amicably.
The president of Qualcomm says that the dispute in which he is involved with Apple is based on a fundamental technology that allows the use of the iPhone all over the world. The president of Qualcomm claims that Apple must ask itself a serious question about the amounts it is willing to pay to integrate into the iPhone a fundamental technology that allows the use of GSM networks anywhere on the planet.
Qualcomm has a very extensive relationship with Apple at the moment and the president of the company claims that disputes of this kind are to be expected in complex relationships of this kind. In this idea, those from Qualcomm expect the dispute to be resolved amicably between the companies, but for now there is no known possible period when things could return to normal.
"At the end, the important thing to remember is that this is fundamentally a discussion about pricing over the fundamental technology that makes the phone the phone. I think we'll get through it, we have a very strong product relationship with [Apple]. We sometimes have these disputes, but you have a broad relationship."
