Qualcomm can DESIGN a chip and HOPE it’ll go in 20 million devices in a year. If they take big enough risks it’s possible no one buys the chip and they just eat a huge loss. I do the phone manufacturers don’t want it, or they don’t think it’s worth the extra three dollars compared to a previous chip.

Apple has inly one customer, they can design a trip and KNOW it’s going into 150 million devices within a year. Even if the APIs aren’t given to third parties, it may still be a big win for them.
