And yet Google used Exynos for those designs. Somehow Samsung must have told project zero that they didn't need to release a fix - a project run by their customer for this SoC. But promptly after disclosure a fix appears. I guess it's good that they'll come out for five years, but it's probably worth a little bit of doubt on our part whether Samsung will actually deliver on that promise.

Oh my god is that why Apple has yet to put modems in their laptops? I could totally see Apple unable to compromise on support for a Qualcomm modem for something like 8 years.

Apple's designed Qualcomm out of next-generation iPhones (again) [1], only this time they've acquired the Intel/Infineon modem design team instead of buying the parts. So if Apple were to make a Macbook with a modem next year, it'd be their own.

Honestly, I think it's because they believe anyone with a macbook should have an iphone - their easy and transparent tethering works embarrassingly well.
