Am I missing something here? If Qualcomm charges a 5% royalty up to a maximum of $20, then phones $400 and up all pay the same $20 fee. How is that making them too expensive?<p>The phones we usually see people call &quot;too expensive&quot; cost a lot more than $400. I don&#x27;t think $20 is what&#x27;s making them cost too much.
