The breaking of this record is proof that Apple is holding on to its leading position in the market.

Promising collaboration between Nokia and Apple

Where something old ends, something new begins. Finnish company Nokia has entered into a long-term licensing agreement with Apple for its patents. Nokia was once a world leader in the field of handsets and so far has a broad portfolio consisting of more than 20 thousand patents, which was created after an investment of 140 billion euros (152.70 billion USD). This agreement for Nokia's intellectual property related to 5G networks and other technologies comes as the current license between the two companies expires at the end of 2023. The agreement will provide Nokia with revenue from January 2024 [1].
