Does that make Apple’s M1-in-all-devices announcement twice a demonstration of strength of their supply chain?

Does that make Apple’s M1-in-all-devices announcement twice a demonstration of strength of their supply chain?
- wmf 6y agoYes, Apple has presumably locked in both supply and prices of all their components including Ax/Mx, DRAM, flash, LCD panels, etc.
- Spooky23 6y agoYes. It’s really a testament to the praise of Tim Cook as a master of operations. It’s quite a statement that Apple launched four variants of the same product (M1 Air, M1 Pro, M1 iMac, M1 iPad) in the middle of a supply chain apocalypse, all within a few weeks and is both delivering on schedule and even putting the product on sale. Call your HP rep and try to buy an LCD monitor right now.

- Spooky23 6y agoThat’s in the channel. Try getting a few hundred direct. Similar story for small MFPs over the winter.
- baybal2 6y ago10-15 years ago, Cook's level of competency wouldn't have been anything special, but that of competent operations lead. The industry in the West not only shipped everything to outsourcers, but even forgot how to manage outsourcers as well, being fully reliant on turnkey services.
