It's Tim Cook, Apple's supply-chain guy at work. Slowly moving up the food-chain to in-source the most expensive items on the BOM and bring down costs, now that they achieved the scale for it. First the SoC, then the modem, then the sensor.
- CharlesW 3y agoAn Apple part potentially brings down costs, but Apple Silicon wasn’t primarily about bringing down costs, and it’s unlikely to be the focus of this exercise either IMHO. There’s a huge opportunity to differentiate in terms of a hardware + software system, where right now Apple can mostly only innovate in software. This becomes even more important in the context of HMDs.
