This title is misleading and clickbaity. Takeaway: Both Samsung are choosing to bring chip design in house as a differentiator, Qualcomm is getting its margins crunched because both Apple and Samsung are only buying low cost modems from them.<p>It is not Apple and Samsung that caused this, it was Qualcomm&#x27;s inability to stay ahead of their own customers in chip development. If Qualcomm had the best chips, Apple and Samsung would not bring chip design in house.
