hate to be a nitpick, but Apple doesn't have a license with Qualcomm. Instead Apple chose to outsource all their manufacturing and licensing to Foxconn whose licensing with Qualcomm predates Apple's iPhone release in 2007. In this particular case, Apple instructed its suppliers to make no further payment to Qualcomm. So I guess so long as Apple iPhone are made in China by those sourcing companies, their (indirect) licensing payment to Qualcomm won't change.
