I think the problem is that none of Apple's hardware competitors make enough money to match Apple's investment in hardware research creating a downward spiral where Apple just eats more and more of the top-end highly profitable market for phones and laptops.

Both have the finances to compete, but I suspect they are at least a decade behind Apple in terms of hardware design and supply chain logistics.
