Apple’s Intel iPhone X much slower than Qualcomm models
@ 2017/12/06Users pay for Apple’s spat
Apple users are having to pay in terms of performance if they are stuck with an iPhone X with an Intel modem.
For those who came in late, Apple effectively created two iPhone X’s one with an Intel modem and the other with one from Qualcomm. It did this because, despite Qualcomm having a better spec, Intel was a lot more acquiescent on price. Apple then went on to have a full legal war with Qualcomm over patents.
