("Apple is considering building the devices only with modem chips from Intel Corp. and possibly MediaTek Inc")
Note:
(a) The WSJ report is NOT locked behind paywall.
(b) The quotation is the only mention of MediaTek in the report. Media has suffered for a year or two when smartphone makers in China switched to high-end, world-famous chips (from MediaTek) to distinguish themselves.
(c) In print, the report ends with the paragraph that starts with the following sentence: "Selling chips is generally less profitable for Qualcomm than its patent business."
