New 5G Licensing Deals Will Increase iPhone Prices

as declared in While Apple 's new iPhones will have significant upgrades, perhaps the biggest crowd pleaser is going to be their lower prices. But don't expect that to last for long…Picked up by VentureBeat, this week Nokia joined Ericsson and Qualcomm in finalizing the licensing costs for 5G technology. What Nokia announced was a flat-rate €3 ($3.49) per-device cost for the license of its 5G patents. In addition, while Nokia, Ericsson and Qualcomm decided their costs in accordance with FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-discriminatory) terms, other minority 5G licensees could yet cause trouble.

New iPhone XS Reveals Tim Cook's Failure To Innovate

When you step back and look at the details in last week's iPhone launch event, it tells you everything you need to know about Apple.

Apple's New iPhone XR Expected to Dominate Sales -- The Motley Fool

If anything, the iPhone XR that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) unveiled last week might be too good. At 25% less than the price of an iPhone XS but with a very comparable feature set, the iPhone XR could potentially cannibalize the iPhone XS. At least one analyst is expecting the iPhone XR to dominate sales. iPhone XS Max is off to a strong start, particularly in the Chinese market since it now comes in gold, has a larger display, and supports dual SIMs. While the implications on ASPs are more straightforward, what's less clear is how stronger-than-expected demand for iPhone XR could affect profitability.
