Qualcomm is a patent troll, boycott.

Good luck finding chips that don't use any Qualcomm IP.

That's easy.

Now, a chip that doesn't pay the troll toll to Qualcomm, AND ships with a cellular modem? That's hard.

All new iPhones.

I'd be very surprised if it turned out that Apple has managed not to trip over any of Qualcomm's 4G/5G patents in the modem.

The SoC itself being Qualcomm patent free I find quite easy to believe in.
