The legal fight between Apple and Qualcomm is ready to make another victim: the upcoming iPhone generation will rely solely on Intel modems, which means there’s a chance all modems would be substantially slower than Android flagships running on Qualcomm chips.

This is what Qualcomm’s CFO George Davis said during the Q3 earnings call, revealing that there’s a chance the company would no longer supply modems to Apple, instead leaving Cupertino to bet entirely on Intel.

“We believe Apple intends to solely use our competitor's modems rather than our modems in its next iPhone release,” he was quoted as saying, suggesting that while a decision in this regard hasn’t been made just yet, but there’s a chance Apple would bet all-in on Intel.

Cristiano Amon, the head of Qualcomm's chip business, also suggested that the company may end its collaboration with Apple, but only temporarily, indicating that a possible agreement at a later time is still a thing that they would be willing to do.

“This is a very dynamic industry. If the opportunity presents itself, I think we will be a supplier of Apple,” he explained.
