Ofc Apple can do it inhouse but I as an "economist" wonder who can specialise better? Apple is bigger and more powerful than Qualcomm but do they really have that comparative advantage to deliver better product. Qualcomm has years of know-how but looking from Apple's point of view it is better to be self-sufficient then to rely on the 3rd party. I guess time will show.
- euos 4y agoApple has the volume. Random search shows they have roughly a quarter of the world smartphone sales (I also would expect Apple users to upgrade more frequently). Apple has just several SoC packages with the same cores across all its products. Samsung (2nd is sales volumes) has many more product lines and uses vastly different silicon.
