Apple was not an overnight success. It had its dark days. The reason Apple became a 1T company was because Tim Cook blocked the world and its dog from the supply chain in the early days of the iDevice launches(that is also the reason he became the CEO and not Scott Forstall). If a company has to become 1T then it has to have a very strong moat. It does not matter whether it is from YC or not. Some YC companies do have the advantage of building strong moat. But it all depends on the management of those startups. So will next Apple come from YC, who knows; because it does not depend on YC but on how a startup exploits its moat.
