   It's notable that the headline for today's Apple Insider article on the   
   highlight of the year 2019, is the following headline.   
      
   o April 2019 in review: *Apple settles with Qualcomm to get its 5G modem*   
      
      
     "analysts... reckoned that Apple must have paid $6 billion"   
     "...plus $9 per iPhone sold in royalties."   
      
   The article appropriately said:   
   o "Good thing Apple has money"   
      
   Which, if we think like adults should, that should be changed to:   
   o "*Good thing Apple has _your_ money*"   
      
   I think it's interesting that people "think" Apple is superior at IC   
   design, and yet, 2019 facts prove Apple can't even design a decent modem.   
   --   
   Apple surrendered to Qualcomm because they would have died otherwise.
