Outside of that payment, Qualcomm estimated that it would make $4.7 billion to $5.5 billion in revenue in the next quarter, roughly $1.23 billion of which would come from patent licenses that include Apple's. It's not certain how much Apple is paying in ongoing fees, but that could become more apparent when Apple resumes using Qualcomm chips in iPhones and iPads (possibly this fall). It's safe to say Qualcomm's success won't hinge on iPhone revenue, then -- it's more of a bonus on top of the company's existing dominance in the wireless world.
