In the last times Apple and Nokia were at odds over patents And now it seems that this officially ends after the agreement between both companies that Nokia executive Maria Varsellona has just officially confirmed:
This is certainly a significant deal for both Nokia and Apple. This agreement completely changes our relationship with Apple and we went from being adversaries in court to partners in business to achieve a better and greater benefit for all our customers.
With this agreement we are not clear if Apple will have products from the Withings range in the official Apple Store, but it is possible, in addition, what does seem clear is that the differences that both companies had and that they were facing directly in court, comes to an end. Apple and Nokia have signed a cooperation agreement for a few years that very sure in addition to the users will benefit the two companies.
Logically, the agreements they have officially reached have not been publicized in the media, but it is speculated that Nokia is about to receive a financial bonus from Apple (if you have not already received it) for using some of its licenses and this money will be paid in the form of royalties. On the other hand, the guys from Cupertino may or may not put the Withings on sale when they deem appropriate in their stores, but what is true is that this financial compensation can really suit the "new Nokia" to deal with more economic resources the immediate future that they are sowing.
