Apple Inc.
could be within a week of agreeing to a deal to buy Intel Corp.'s INTC, +2.15% modem-chip business, according to a Monday afternoon report. The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple and Intel are in advanced talks on a deal that values the business at $1 billion or more that could lead to a deal in the next week, based on anonymous sources. Intel stock gained about 2% in after-hours trading after the report hit, while Apple shares gained about 0.2%.
on the same day that Intel -- the only other Apple source for iPhone modem chips -- announced that it would wind down its modem business. The Journal reported that Intel and Apple were in talks for more than a year, but Intel began shopping the unit after Apple struck a multiyear deal with Qualcomm as part of the companies' legal settlement. After discussions with other companies, Intel re-ignited talks with Apple, according to the report.
