Re: "higher smartphone prices"
That's the beauty of their lawsuit, it doesn't matter whether that's true or not. They are asking for what they say Qualcomm overcharged to be returned directly to consumers who bought Apple and Samsung phones, not to Apple and Samsung.
So the consumers actually win if this case succeeds - not sure how many phones are affected so that half a billion may not amount to very much especially when the lawyers take their cut but a check for a fiver is better than nothing if all you have to do to take part is fill out a web form.
