SAN JOSE, Calif. - Qualcomm Inc. could displace cell-phone chipsets from Intel/Infineon in all iPhones from Apple Inc. by next year, according to an analyst.
At present, Apple's iPhone line uses a cell-phone chipset from Infineon Technologies AG. The carrier for the phone is AT&T. Recently, Intel Corp. acquired Infineon's wireless chip business, thereby grabbing the Apple iPhone account.
