Reply to comment by ReallyBrainDead in Apple is reportedly making an all-in-one cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth chip. by SUPRVLLAN

No spies, just obvious. Next largest and most expensive piece of silicon in there that they don't make. Plus, know what it's like to be working on a chip they designed out, I was interviewing because that happened in my prior job.

They do invest with fabs to have their own exclusive production lines.

Besides that's like saying a writer didn't write the book just because they needed someone to print it.

Yeah. The important thing is that they are getting the lion’s share of the margin on it. If you’re paying $300 for the chip as a part of the product, they’re keeping $250 instead of 150.
