The Chip Behind the Call
Few people have ever bought anything from Qualcomm, yet many of you carry its work in a pocket. Samsung's best phones, and those of several Chinese brands, often run on a Snapdragon, the main processor that runs the phone.
For years, iPhones relied on a Qualcomm modem, the part that links a phone to the mobile network so that a call goes through or a message arrives. Many phone makers, Apple among them, also pay Qualcomm for the right to use its patents.
Apple has long been one of Qualcomm's largest chip customers, but it is now expected to use mostly its own modems. Qualcomm is looking for buyers elsewhere: carmakers, factories, robot makers and the vast computer centers that run artificial intelligence. Can these new customers replace Apple without thinning Qualcomm's profits?
What the Company Does
Qualcomm earns its money in two ways. The first is selling chips: processors and modems for phones, laptops, cars and factory machines. Qualcomm designs these chips, but outside factories build, package and test almost all of them.
Licensing is the second way. Device makers pay Qualcomm for the right to use its patents on mobile technology, and the company says this side keeps more of each dollar than chips do. Separately, Qualcomm also has an arm that invests in other companies.
Apple shows how the two ways can meet in a single customer. For years it bought Qualcomm's modems and also paid for its patents. Qualcomm warns that Apple's move to its own modems will hurt its chip revenue, results and cash.
The patent payments are another matter. Management says the licensing agreement with Apple has been renewed. If so, the loss should fall mostly on chips.
Qualcomm is seeking new sales beyond the phone. For cars, it sells a platform that connects the vehicle to the network, runs the dashboard screens and helps the driver. A new generation began shipping in the quarter ended in September 2026, according to management.
Data centers are the second new market. Qualcomm bought Alphawave, which designs the connections between servers, and Modular, which writes software for artificial intelligence. Management says chips designed for two large cloud companies will start shipping in the first quarter of .
Since October 2026, Qualcomm has counted its data center business inside the chip segment. In our reading, every one of these new markets feeds the chip business. That side keeps less of each sale, and it is the one that must make up for Apple.
