Apple only just started making chips when they became a company earning $200+Bn revenues. They’ve been complaining about their chip makers since 1999 at least.

Apple only just started making chips when they became a company earning $200+Bn revenues. They’ve been complaining about their chip makers since 1999 at least. The example is ironic. Apple’s behavior isn’t. They conveyed the truth. Just like Framework is conveying the truth. Is that a valid excuse for Framework? Not for their customers at least. Just like it wasn’t a valid excuse for Apple when it was selling absolute lemons with Motorola chips in them and then absolute lemons with IBM G4 chips in them towards the end of their IBM relationship, or absolute lemons which couldn’t support 32GB of memory when their much smaller competitors using the same chips had been doing so for years.
