So what? Qualcomm owns the Qualcomm codec patent. Old news.
However, Bluetooth explicitly allows you to add support for custom codecs on both ends, so Apple can ignore the existence of the Qualcomm codec and use their own.
Sony is literally already doing that in both their smartphones and headphones with LDAC
Apple has AAC
Not how patents work. Clearly if Apple didn’t need Qualcomm, they couldn’t have signed the deal.
Old news is news.
Are you trolling you absolutely nutjob, OF COURSE if Apple uses a different thing which is not patented because the patent owner DID NOT invent that COMPLETELY DIFFERENT thing then Apple don't have to pay for patent licensing fees for a thing THEY DON'T USE
And as I've explained so many times that you have to be illiterate to not have understood the point, Qualcomm is not the only company with a lossless algorithm and bluetooth itself doesn't limit your algorithm choices
