Huawei declines to produce chips for Apple

In the past few days, there were a lot of rumors about Huawei talking to Apple for supplying 5G chips. To fuel this rumor, Huawei executive went on to say that it was open to selling chips to the Cupertino giant. However, the company has finally taken an official stand. Earlier today, at Huawei's Analyst Summit 2019, the company dismissed this rumor.
Well, it did make sense why some people would think Huawei was the ideal company to supply Apple with 5G chips. The Cupertino giant and Qualcomm have not been in the best of terms recently. In fact, their latest lawsuit kicked off earlier this week. Intel would have been the next logical supplier, but the company seems to be a bit behind schedule in its 5G chip. That leaves Samsung and Huawei. We are not quite sure how well Samsung can handle its 5G chip mass production. So, Huawei was the next logical option.
But with Huawei out of the picture, Intel or Samsung could come to Apple's rescue. Unfortunately, Apple is still commenting on this matter. G. C.
