The amount of extrapolation seems a bit extreme - one deleted job opening shouldn't mean anything. But I guess in the age of clickbait journalism everything goes.
Sort of related:<p>For a while now I’ve been thinking that a product that helps you monitor your competitor’s job postings could be pretty interesting. Anyone here find value in that concept? It wouldn’t be for finding a job necessarily, but instead to keep a pulse on the potential health/direction of those in your niche.
I mean, of course they are. I guarantee Apple is considering moving every aspect of their products in house. They'll end up keeping a lot of them external, but they look at all of it.
Wouldn't an organisation such as Apple (who must be one of Qualcomm's largest customers, surely...) already share design information such as this with engineers inside Apple?<p>This job ad to me doesn't sound like a smoking gun to get rid of Qualcomm.
In an efficient market, companies (Intel and Qcomm in this case) would compete to produce products (5G modem) that can tailor to multiple customers for maximum volume to recoup R&D cost. This will converge in the best product at the best price.<p>I wonder what would be the benefit of Apple producing their own chip? Especially with the threat of "peak iPhone" looming.
The coming 5G comes to mind. The problem with Qcom and 5G is that they do not even hide the fact that they wont to monopolize the technology through IP capture.
