Especially considering Apple's hiring of baseband chip engineers...

They've got 6 years to work it out.
They might still develop their own baseband eventually, intermittently using Qualcomm to get to 5G.
Apple has a lot of other devices besides phones that use cellular networks.

I wonder if you just care about data and not voice, how much of this quagmire you can avoid? Ipads, watches, maybe Airs with data only chips, that'd be a lot of chips.
