Apple and Qualcomm Agree on One Thing: China
Apple and Qualcomm’s epic legal battle appears to be reaching the end. Amongst all their disagreements, they see eye-to-eye on the importance of 5G in the U.S. With a key ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission expected tomorrow, Bloomberg News reported on the very high-stakes for both firms.
A ruling from the trade commission favoring Apple could undermine Qualcomm’s attempts to defend its business model and keep on charging billions of dollars in technology licensing fees. If Qualcomm prevails, Apple may face restrictions on its ability to import and sell some versions of the iPhone, the main source of its revenue….

LONDON – Britain’s departure from the EU has been delayed. Brexit was supposed to happen this Friday, but, depending on what happens in Parliament this week, will take place on either April 12th or May 22nd.

It will mean using your iPhone in Europe will become much more expensive.
The plan to reinstate roaming charges has been confirmed by the European Commission as part of documents outlining its preparations for the UK crashing out of the EU. “As it is increasingly likely that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union without a deal on 12 April, the European Commission has today completed its ‘no-deal’ preparations,” the Commission said in a statement…The Commission’s documents outline 19 legislative proposals covering everything from financial services to climate policy.
