At one point, I seem to remember reading that Apple had purchased Qualcomm's facility on Longtan, Taiwan. Otherwise, it was in 2012(??) that Qualcomm lost ~$300 million US on Mirasol and in 2013 announced Mirasol was being dropped.

I also seem to remember that one test of a Mirasol ereader playing a 60Hz video chewed up the battery with enthusiasm while leaving the viewer complaining about the washed out colours.
