I think this makes sense. Right now Apple can focus its energy on something that they can more easily compete in and is absolutely overflowing with money and margins. In a few years, if Apple wants to get back into EVs they’d likely be able to just buy a smaller manufacturer with good margins (sort of like what they did with Beats). Right now Apple is the only company who can compete with NVidia (besides AMD) because they can afford to buy up TSMCs shiniest new node capacity. Until Intel does a reverse AMD and jettisons its chip design business from its fab business, being able to buy up TSMC capacity is a massive advantage.
