But design is not manufacture. Have they ever manufactured components before?

  The sapphire glass used on some devices was reportedly made in an apple owned factory, according to Apple terms, using equipment Apple paid for. The actual production was handled by a third party using that space that went bankrupt, but I'd say it counts. This would be the most significant component they've manufactured in-house though.

    That doesn't count because the other company had designed the process, but didn't have capacity to produce at Apple-level volumes. Apple paid for the expansion,and then ditched the company's product (which led to the bankruptcy)
