Qualcomm Wants to Block iPhone X With Some Old Palm Patents
The Palm Pre was one of the earliest victims of Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPhone. Despite garnering a loyal niche of enthusiasts thanks to its clever interface and innovative operating system webOS, the Palm Pre never really made it very far following its 2009 launch. The following year, Palm was was sold to Hewlett-Packard for $1.2 billion, which gave it a misguided whirl before similarly throwing in the towel.
In killing the home button on the iPhone X in favor of gestures, iOS is borrowing some cues from webOS, which also leaned heavily on gestures and a card-based interface. This is now the basis of the latest volley in Apple's escalating legal battle with Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM).
