WSJ: Apple Planning to Buy Intel’s Modem Business
Rapidly headed to a world where Apple owns almost ALL its core chip technology. First for their phones, then everything else (ARM laptops, etc).
It seems like Intel’s new CEO didn’t have interest in being in this business, and Apple is reportedly staffing up a major effort to build its own modem chips in the long term. So, at least from this outside perspective, this transaction seems to make an enormous amount of sense.
