Patents and a quagmire of legal hurdles. They have long complained about Qualcomms pricing structure. A company like that has a lock on the industry even Apple can’t fully circumvent without significant costs.

It’s sort of the last piece in the puzzle. Once they get their modems, they become a fully unified system.

You talk about boosting network stability? That’s just the start when you control all the airwaves.
