Ondrej Holzman Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Apple i kahi hoʻopiʻi i ka pule i hala e kūʻē iā Qualcomm, kāna mea hoʻolako chip pūnaewele, e ʻimi ana i $ 1 biliona. He hihia paʻakikī ia e pili ana i ka ʻenehana uila, nā uku aliʻi a me nā ʻaelike ma waena o Qualcomm a me kāna mau mea kūʻai aku, akā hōʻike pū i ke kumu, no ka laʻana, ʻaʻohe LTE i nā MacBook.
Loaʻa iā Qualcomm ka hapa nui o kāna loaʻa kālā mai ka hana ʻana i nā chip a me nā uku laikini, a he mau tausani kāna i loko o kāna kōpili. Ma ka mākeke patent, ʻo Qualcomm ke alakaʻi i nā ʻenehana 3G a me 4G, i hoʻohana ʻia i nā pae like ʻole i ka hapa nui o nā polokalamu kelepona.
ʻAʻole kūʻai wale nā mea hana i nā chips e like me ia mai Qualcomm, akā pono e uku iā lākou no ka hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i kāna ʻenehana, ka mea maʻamau e pono ai no ka hana ʻana o nā pūnaewele kelepona. ʻO ka mea e hoʻoholo ai i kēia manawa ʻo ia ka helu ʻana o Qualcomm i nā uku laikini e pili ana i ka nui o ka waiwai o ka hāmeʻa kahi i loaʻa ai kāna ʻenehana.
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā iPhones, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kālā no Qualcomm
Ma ka hihia o Apple, ʻo ia ka mea ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai o kāna iPhone a i ʻole iPad, ʻoi aku ka uku o Qualcomm. ʻO kēlā me kēia mea hou, e like me Touch ID a i ʻole nā kāmera hou e hoʻohui i ka waiwai o ke kelepona, pono e hoʻonui i ka uku e uku ai ʻo Apple iā Qualcomm. A pinepine hoʻi ke kumukūʻai o ka huahana no ka mea kūʻai hope.
Eia naʻe, hoʻohana ʻo Qualcomm i kona kūlana ma ka hāʻawi ʻana i kekahi uku kālā i nā mea kūʻai aku, ma waho aʻe o kāna ʻenehana, hoʻohana pū kekahi i kāna mau pahu i kā lākou huahana, i ʻole lākou e uku "ʻelua". A eia mākou i hele mai i ke kumu e hoʻopiʻi ai ʻo Apple iā Qualcomm no hoʻokahi piliona kālā, ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe.
Wahi a Apple, ua ho'ōki ʻo Qualcomm i ka uku ʻana i kēia "hoʻihoʻi hapaha" i ka hāʻule hope loa a ua ʻaiʻē iā Apple i hoʻokahi piliona kālā. Eia nō naʻe, pili ʻia ka rebate i ʻōlelo ʻia i nā ʻōlelo ʻaelike ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole e hui pū nā mea kūʻai aku o Qualcomm i kekahi hoʻokolokolo kūʻē iā ia.
I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Apple e hui pū me ka American Trade Commission FTC, ka mea e noiʻi ana i nā hana a Qualcomm, a no laila ua kāpae ʻo Qualcomm i ka uku ʻana iā Apple. Ua hana hou ʻia kahi hoʻokolokolo like e kūʻē iā Qualcomm ma South Korea, kahi i hoʻopaʻi ʻia ai he $853 miliona no ka uhai ʻana i ke kānāwai antitrust a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū mai ke komo ʻana i kāna mau patent.
Nā bila i loko o nā piliona
No nā makahiki ʻelima i hala iho nei, ʻo Qualcomm ka mea hoʻolako hoʻokahi o Apple, akā i ka manawa i pau ai ka ʻaelike kūʻokoʻa, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Apple e nānā i kahi ʻē aʻe. No laila, loaʻa nā ʻāpana uila like ʻole mai Intel ma kahi o ka hapalua o ka iPhone 7 a me 7 Plus. Eia nō naʻe, ke kau nei ʻo Qualcomm i kāna mau uku no ka mea ua manaʻo ʻo ia e hoʻohana ana kekahi chip uea i ka nui o kāna mau patent.
Eia naʻe, ma hope o South Korea, ua hoʻouka ʻia ka hoʻolālā maikaʻi loa o Qualcomm me nā uku laikini e ka FTC ʻAmelika a me Apple, ʻaʻole makemake ʻia e ka hui nunui mai San Diego. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoihana me nā uku laikini ma mua o ka hana ʻana i nā chips. ʻOiai ua hoʻopuka ka māhele aliʻi i ka loaʻa kālā ma mua o ka ʻauhau o $ 7,6 biliona ma ka loaʻa kālā o $ 6,5 biliona i ka makahiki i hala, ua hiki iā Qualcomm ke hana "wale nō" $ 1,8 biliona ma ka loaʻa kālā ma mua o $ 15 biliona i nā chips.
Ke pale nei ʻo Qualcomm e hoʻohuli wale ʻia kāna mau hana e Apple i hiki iā ia ke uku liʻiliʻi no kāna ʻenehana waiwai. ʻO ka luna kānāwai o Qualcomm, ʻo Don Rosenberg, ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Apple i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i nā hoʻokolokolo hoʻoponopono e kūʻē i kāna hui a puni ka honua. Ma waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole hauʻoli ka FTC i kēia manawa ua hōʻole ʻo Qualcomm iā Intel, Samsung a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i hoʻāʻo e kūkākūkā i nā huaʻōlelo laikini me ia i hiki ai iā lākou ke hana i nā chips mobile.
Ma hope o nā mea a pau, he hana kēia a Qualcomm e hoʻohana mau nei, no ka laʻana, e pili ana me Apple, i ka wā ʻaʻole ia e kūkākūkā pono i nā uku laikini me ia, akā me kāna mea hoʻolako (no ka laʻana, Foxconn). Hoʻopaʻa wale ʻo Apple i nā ʻaelike ʻaoʻao me Qualcomm, i ka wā e uku ʻia ai ka rebate i ʻōlelo ʻia ma ke ʻano he uku no nā uku a Apple e uku ai iā Qualcomm ma o Foxconn a me nā mea hoʻolako ʻē aʻe.
ʻOi aku ke kumukūʻai o kahi MacBook me LTE
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo CEO ʻo Apple ʻo Tim Cook ʻaʻole ʻo ia e ʻimi nei i nā hoʻopiʻi like, akā i ka hihia o Qualcomm, ʻaʻole ʻike kāna hui i kahi ala ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka waiho ʻana i kahi hoʻopiʻi. Wahi a Kuke, ua like nā royalties i kēia manawa me kahi hale kūʻai e uku ana iā ʻoe no kahi moe e pili ana i ka hale āu e waiho ai.
ʻO Apple CEO Tim Cook ma ka hoʻopiʻi Qualcomm: "He ala hope loa ia, akā ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike i kahi ala ʻē aʻe. Ua makemake lākou i kālā hou aku no ke kumu ʻole. " pic.twitter.com/zuwSSzUb10

ʻAʻole maopopo i ke ʻano o ka ulu ʻana o ka hihia a inā paha e loaʻa kahi hopena koʻikoʻi i ka ʻoihana kelepona holoʻokoʻa a me ka ʻenehana. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka hoʻopuka ʻana i nā uku laikini e hōʻike maikaʻi ana i ke kumu hoʻokahi, no ka laʻana, ʻaʻole i hoʻāʻo ʻo Apple e hoʻolako i kāna MacBooks me nā ʻāpana kelepona no ka hoʻokipa LTE. Ma muli o ka helu ʻana o Qualcomm i nā uku mai ka huina kumukūʻai o ka huahana, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka uku hoʻonui i nā kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe o MacBooks, ʻo ia ka mea e uku ʻia ai ka mea kūʻai aku ma kahi hapa.
ʻO nā MacBook me kahi pahu kāleka SIM (a i kēia mau lā me kahi kāleka virtual i hoʻohui ʻia) ua kamaʻilio mau ʻia no kekahi mau makahiki. ʻOiai ke hāʻawi nei ʻo Apple i kahi ala maʻalahi loa e kaʻana like i ka ʻikepili kelepona i kahi Mac mai kahi iPhone a i ʻole iPad, ʻaʻole pono e hele i ia mea e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā mea hoʻohana he nui.
He nīnau e pili ana i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka noi no ia ʻano hoʻohālike, akā e hoʻomaka ana nā kamepiula like a i ʻole hybrids (papa/notebook) me kahi pili kelepona e ʻike ʻia ma ka mākeke, a he mea hoihoi ke ʻike inā loaʻa iā lākou ka ʻāina. No ka laʻana, no ka poʻe e hele mau ana a makemake i ka Pūnaewele no ka hana, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ia hopena ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻu mau ʻana i ka iPhone ma o kahi piko piko pilikino.
