Couldn’t you apply this same principle to Apple from ~2000 until current? It seems, at least in some pocket markets, there exists an intersection where manufacturing and technology combine to be highly profitable.
Maybe car manufacturing isn’t one of those places, but I feel like that’s more difficult to dismiss as flippantly.
- u10 6y agoNot really, for one Apple outsources their manufacturing to various companies (TSMC, Foxconn, AMD, Intel, etc). This allows Apple to focus on design and software (ie, the hardware design follows the software, unlike Tesla where the software follows the hardware, so to speak), and not get bogged down in the manufacturing process. Apple handles the design and software, not the manufacturing.
