That would probably take years to set up, and considering Apple outsource manufacturing in general (Foxconn for assembly, Samsung for screens, TSMC for chips) it wouldn't necessarily fit their modus operandi.
On the other hand they have more money than they could possibly spend, so insourcing everything for vertical integration isn't out of reach.
