“the telco was approaching Apple to put its LTE-A technology on the upcoming iPhone”
Has nothing to do with the phone company, Apple just puts the “world chip” from Qualcomm in the iPhone. Even takes care of China. 😛
Super bogus.
Apple would not be negotiating for components this close to launch.
The final design was locked in months ago. Since then everything has been about satisfying purchase agreements and testing production lines/output/yields. And that’s before Foxconn takes delivery.
This “unnamed” is just getting free publicity for SK’s product.
Agree.
And hurting his company because it is “in the middle of negotiations”.
Apple does not like loose lips talking about things.
He is a moron.
