Monday saw Huawei offer a supply of 5G modems for the iPhone This would be the first time that the manufacturer offered its technology to a rival. Of course it would be a Chinese company coming to the rescue of an American company, an approach that would require Apple to swallow a large slice of humble pie
Monday was also expected to be the day that Apple and Qualcomm returned to the courts in the long-running patent portfolio history The two companies did return, not to settle for a long legal case but to settle the case. Forbes contributor Jim McGregor has mo re
Just after completing the opening of arguments in the case at the center of the dispute between Apple and Qualcomm, the two parties announced a settlement that includes the end of all legal actions, a six-year license of Qualcomm's intellectual Property (IP) portfolio
With the Huawei offering a dangerous deal, Samsung and Mediatek unequivocally meet Apple's 2020 deadline with sufficient volumes, and Intel announcing it would be exiting the 5G modem. market and few hours after the above deal was announced; Tim Cook's iPhone would be left behind in the 5G arms race with no model in 2020 and perhaps struggling to have a 5G iPhone ready for 2021.
That would be an unconscionable delay for a CEO to inflict on its key product.

Apple has been left out of 5G technology; Qualcomm has outperformed the opposition to the least-worst choice for the iPhone modem; with a raft of 5G smartphones coming from rival manufacturers the iPhone portfolio was outnumbered; and for all of Tim Cook's aura of supply chain wizardry, he was simply outplanned, but 5G has inflicted a permanent scar on Apple's psyche. It is no longer the unstoppable magical innovator that can make anything happen. The innovation comes from outside Cupertino, Tim Cook and his team just put it in a shiny overpriced box.

There's the kicker
With Huawei offering a dangerous deal, Samsung and Mediatek unlikely to meet Apple's 2020 deadline with sufficient volumes, and Intel announcing it would be exiting the 5G modem market and few hours after the above deal was announced; Tim Cook's iPhone would be left behind in the 5G arms race with no model in 2020 and perhaps struggling to have a 5G iPhone ready for 2021.
