Hardware has less competition. China doesn’t know how to build the next Apple, only how to copy it. Yet, at least.

- Workaccount2 4y agoConsidering China makes Apple's hardware, I would say that Apple's software is what makes Apple stand apart. And their SoC's of course, but ain't no lone engineer spinning up their own phone, much less their own SoC. I'm really talking about hobby projects. Hobby swe you can actually make a product, sell it, and make some income. Hardware? Maybe you can make something, but make some money? lol.
- iancmceachern 4y agoNot really. There is deep knowledge and capacity in doing the hardware design. It's not as if Apple sends over a couple powerpoint slides with some renderings and then Foxconn delivers a product a year later. Apple delivers highly detailed designs, exact geometry and tolerance of each and every part, all the process documentation, specs, materials, designs for how the assembly line should be, etc. All that gets handed to Foxconn and they manage the staffing and feeding of the lines.
