What is the estimated revenue from the Apple settlement for QTL in Q3, and how will it be recognized in the financial statements? 
tant to be at the front end of these transitions.
Right now the team and the front end of this transition really meant you had to have a lot of modem expertise across multiple technologies. But also our expertise to really handle all the RF bands and the complicated antennas, which is I think we're getting good traction on those investments in the past, and we're hoping to see that really flow into the business particularly in the next fiscal year.
Now the real race is, how do you bring 5G down in price point through integrated products? You saw the first one of our products announced. You'll see more and more of that. Very pleased with the way those products are being demand or at least the road map traction that we're getting from those and we'll continue to do that.
In terms of the use of the one-time payment. I think we gave some data here about how our capital return program, particularly the ASR has done, which has been good. That's been a strong program for us. We are, I think, in a different mode in terms of our ability to look at the landscape here over the next couple of years. The thing that the -- really the Apple settlement and the launch of 5G coming together, we think it puts us in a very stable position in terms of our visibility into revenue and kind of the competitive dynamics.
So now the question is, how do we add to the company? What do we need to do in order to really drive some of the opportunities that we're getting from 5G? So we're looking at that, but still committed to all of the operational excellence, both cost and capital return that we talked about. But we've got a lot of opportunity ahead, we think, particularly with the stability that these -- this resolution provides us.

Hi, guys. The $4 billion, $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion for Apple, is it -- is all of it a retroactive payment for what they didn't pay? Or is some of it going to be related to future -- kind of, upfront payment for future? And that means how will you recognize revenues for this amount? Will it all be recognized as one-time? Or will you recognize some of it tradable over the life of the contract?
David Wise -- Chief Financial Officer
Yes. The $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion is all for resolution of things prior to the effective date of the agreement. So it's all past. We'll recognize it one-time as revenue in Q3 in our GAAP results. And then, our go-forward guidance on QTL includes the forward impact of ongoing royalties from Apple starting in Q3. And I would note, our $2 estimate is solely go-forward licensing revenues, plus chip contribution.
Tal Liani -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
The question is -- so that means you're going to recognize the $4.5 billion to $4.7 billion, you're going to recognize one-time? Or you've already recognized it on a GAAP basis?
David Wise -- Chief Financial Officer
Yes. It will be in Q3. Yes.
Tal Liani -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
It will be all in Q3.
David Wise -- Chief Financial Officer
We'll recognize one-time in Q3.

Hi, guys. Congrats on the settlement with Apple. Just had a question on the revenue premise. And I believe you guided for it to be up substantially and it was. And I think you said it was in line with your guidance. So two parts to the question.
Can you give us a little color what drove that up so nicely in the March-quarter? And then of equal importance, it looks like you're guiding for that to be flat sequentially in the June-quarter. So can you talk about some of the puts and tak
