Intel would be Apple's foundrry IF Apple agrees to used Intel's Atom Haswell in upcoming products. They both have to be very, very careful to not trip over anti-trust issues as Intel does not want to become a general purpose ARMH foundry at the cost of their own chip products. Intel toally screwed themselves once before by using AMD as a second source foundry for the X86 chips, If Apple uses Intel for An foundry then they don't need Qualcomm.
