Apple certainly was the winner of Huawei being pushed out of the USA market. Now they can continue slowly issuing premium features their competition had years ago, like the macro lens in the new iPhone 13. IMO, if Huawei had remained, high-end hardware would have entered a race to the bottom, and Apple would have been the biggest loser, we can't have that.

Sorry but your comment made me laugh. Apple (a company that never publishes or leads with their tech specs) would be the biggest loser if Huawei stayed in the market. That Huawei that never reached 2% (or even 1%) mobile marketshare in the US

  Apple has never reached double digits in term of desktop market share, but that hasn't stopped them from releasing a new Macbook every year.

    Apple's desktop market share is actually 15% world wide [0] and 27% in the US [1].

    Actually if it wasn't for Microsoft they wouldn't be shipping those phones and MacBooks now.

        When Apple was bankrupt it was Microsoft that lend the money to keep them afloat. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/29/steve-jobs-and-bill-gates-what-happened-when-microsoft-saved-apple.html https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/29/steve-jobs-and-bill-gates-wh...

Huawei was never in the US market. They were pretty dominant in Europe and certain Asian markets and Apple+Samsung probably gained most of the share they lost there.
