Apple is believed to be developing its own custom power management chips for iphone and iPads, at least according to one industry analyst (via Reuters). In today's case about power management chips, neither Dialog nor Apple have said anything about their future plans. Power management chips manage voltage and charging across the components in the device. The analyst notes that Apple has been aggressively hiring engineers from the third-party supplier and already has a significant team of employees working on Apple-designed power management chips. In Imagination's case, the company officially announced that Apple intends to stop paying royalties within two years.

Qualcomm sues Apple for hobbling its iPhone chips to make Intel look better

After Apple hit Qualcomm with a barrage of lawsuits earlier this year, the chip maker is countersuing Apple right back. Qualcomm says Apple threatened it to stop it comparing iPhonesThe Apple suits came after the Federal Trade Commission filed its own litigation against Qualcomm in January. Qualcomm says that Apple "chose not to utilize certain high-performance features of the Qualcomm chipsets for the iphone 7 (preventing consumers from enjoying the full extent of Qualcomm's innovation)," and when Qualcomm iPhones supposedly outperformed Intel iPhones, "Apple falsely claimed that there was 'no discernible difference' between" the two variants. Qualcomm today filed its Answers and Counterclaims to Apple's January lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of California. In today's countersuit, Qualcomm says it seeks — among other things — damages from Apple for "reneging on its promises in several agreements," and to stop Apple interfering in deals with manufacturers for iPhone and iPad parts.
