The sources close to Qualcomm revealed that the firm engages in unmerited practices when conducting its technology licensing ventures.

One major investigation is about the unlawful deal that Qualcomm had with Apple. The company is alleged to have paid large sums of money to Apple to retain the iPhones off the more apt network unit their LTE are available. This practice left Sprint, one of its competitors, in a huge loss of billions they had invested in the network.
