Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), he still hasn't given up on his plan to buy an important division of the Intel company, and this even though the companies are not on very good terms. A few months ago, those from Apple announced that they would no longer buy modems produced by the Intel company for the iPhone, preferring to work again with those from Qualcomm.
Intel was very happy to get rid of the burden called Apple, but now those from Cupertino are interested in buying its division that produces modems for phones and tablets. Apple has repeatedly discussed with Intel in the past about a possible transaction of this kind, but things never reached the desired finality.
Apple would like to buy a part of the Intel division that produces smartphones, the processor manufacturer being willing to sell the entire division in pieces. Apple would be interested in the part that has laboratories in Germany, this being the most important component in the entire division, and could spend several billion dollars for it.
Apple is in talks to buy a key part of Intel's smartphone modem business—its German operations—in a deal that could boost the iPhone maker's plans to internally develop a modem for its devices, according to four people briefed on the discussions. The talks come as Intel considers selling its struggling modem business in pieces. Apple is focusing on one of the strongest pieces of the modem business.
Although he hired several important people from the Intel division that produces modems, those from Apple failed to create teams as good as those of its former partner. In this idea, now Apple wants to buy that part of the Intel division that produces modems, but it remains to be seen how successful it will be in this adventure.
