Apple's planned move for next year involve the modem chips that handle communications between wireless devices and cellular networks.

The Apple plans indicate the battle with Qualcomm could spill beyond the courtroom feud over patents into another important Qualcomm business where it has the potential to send ripples through the smartphone supply chain.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
