Once Apple stops using Imagination Technologies? own GPU designs, Apple will begin implementing its own in-house GPUs. However, as 9to5Mac points out, Imagination doesn?t believe that Apple will be able to make a GPU of its own without infringing on at least one of its patents:
?Apple has not presented any evidence to substantiate its assertion that it will no longer require Imagination?s technology, without violating Imagination?s patents, intellectual property and confidential information. This evidence has been requested by Imagination but Apple has declined to provide it. Further, Imagination believes that it would be extremely challenging to design a brand new GPU architecture from basics without infringing its intellectual property rights, accordingly Imagination does not accept Apple?s assertions.?
