Introducing iPhone 29 Mega Ultra Max Plus

I understand why it would seem that way, but in this case you are incorrect. In this sentence, the entire phrase serves as the object of the preposition.

"Whoever" is actually the subject of the verb "has to code," so the sentence would actually read like this:

> R.I.P. to [whoever has to code the Bluetooth portion of that chip].

Using the substitution method, you can confirm this. Instead of trying to substitute a he/him pronoun for the "to," try substituting pronouns for the "has to code" phrase. It must take a subjective case because that entire phrase requires a subject. And that entire phrase, lengthy though it may be, serves as the object of the initial preposition.

They purchased their 5G business from Intel a few years ago. Many companies have Wifi patents. I think the hurdles are technical. They tried using their own 5G modem but it wasn't even close to as good as Qualcomm's.

Is it still hard to buy a PS5, like find one for sale?

Apple isn't hyping it up though..

I got a Spinal Tap “None More Black” model, and the solar farm twenty miles away pays me four hundred thirty-seven dollars a week to not turn the black light on during daylight hours. Yes, it goes to 11.

Yup, using the substituting he/him method:

> R.I.P. to him

vs

> R.I.P. to he

Apparently there are console repairmen posting images of PS5 leaking liquid metal (likely solder) from being too long in vertical upright position.

Then everyone else copies it in 2038.

how long have you had those controllers btw?

Coming soon… in the next three years

It’s cool and all, but how will we benefit from it?

No they're very awake and aware of what they're doing. They were sent there for the expressed purpose of corporate espionage.

Hmmm Kay

Are we still doing console fanboyism? That's so 90s/00s

They do invest with fabs to have their own exclusive production lines.

Besides that's like saying a writer didn't write the book just because they needed someone to print it.

The joycon issue is less that it's an analog stick and more that it's quite small and thus the drift becomes much more noticeable than on the pro controller or an Xbox/PS5/Deck. This clamp-on controller being much larger already insulates it from a lot of the common issues.

Yes you're ignorant

There are more than 1 pricing strategies and they depend on the market. You can have standard/set markups (nominal or %), small margins but high volume (tightly coupled to cost), set prices based on features/brand/luxury (decoupled from costs)...

I think most people would rather sell their goods with a defined profit margin (1), because if they can drop manufacturing costs, their prices will come down but they'll likely sell more.

2 is fine for monopolies (from a sales perspective).

3 is better suited to luxury goods.

It’s “whoms’t”

I would wager that's patent expiry and not a technical hurdle.

Microsoft bought Nokia for cellular patents then spun the brand off.

Google bought Motorola for cellular patents then sold the brand to Lenovo.

Qualcomm and Broadcom are the other big cellular innovators.

Apple negotiated a percentage royalty with Qualcomm.

When the iPhone was $300, the royalties were cheap.

When the iPhone became $1,000+, the royalties tripled and Apple didn't want to pay up.

If Apple buys another cellular company, it would be detrimental to their brand image as they want to present as innovators creating their own phone. No flipping a Siemens, Ericsson, Nokia, or Motorola device as their own.

Even though they rely heavily of Foxconn, Samsung, Qualcomm, Arm, and TSMC for almost everything.

And even with software, iOS is derived from BSD.

The in-house cellular modem part was pretty well known years back. In fact Apple had started poaching heavily from Qualcomm back in 2017 IIRC.

In 2016, many Qualcomm Modem folks moved over to Intel Modem Division in San Diego with higher pay packages and then became Apple employees once it got acquired.

The poaching continues to this day because, as you know it, Apple has very very deep pockets . Apple also recently established thier offices in SD, including a big campus in Rancho Bernardo area - thereby signifying that they are investing heavily in talent in the San Diego region - which has traditionally been seen as Qualcomm’s backyard.
