Where does it say that? I've read the article twice now, and nowhere does it say that Apple internal memos tried to say Qualcomm's patents were somehow inferior. What it said was they intentionally licensed less-expensive patents to try and make Qualcomm's look more expensive, but that's the argument I already addressed.

That's exactly what the FTC did during their trial. The FTC lined up QCOM's competitors and had them testify that QCOM's patents were insignificant/inferior compared to their own patent portfolio. I'm fairly sure that this repertoire was in Apple lawyer's play too.

I can't seem to find an article talking about what you just described. Though I'm not sure what the FTC did even matters since we're talking about Apple, not the FTC.
