Apple signed an agreement to use cellular technology owned by Ericsson. Through this year's multi-year settlement, Apple is allowed to use some key cellular technologies in their devices and agrees to drop a lawsuit filed last January.
Ericsson filed a lawsuit against Apple because Apple products such as the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch use Ericsson's inventions including 5G technology. Before the two companies had signed an agreement for licensing but after its period expired they failed to reach an agreement to continue the new licensing.
