1) Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co. estimates Apple would save anywhere from $3 to $10 per iPhone sold. Based on his discounted savings analysis, he forecasts IDCC could be worth as much as $10 billion to Apple.
2) also in the link below, as you stated above, in the chart on page 4, only the Q has more LTE IPR than our IDCC.
