    Iirc the die area for Apple’s chips are also a lot larger and that’s expensive. It’s a lot easier for them to tank that cost because they are building them for themselves rather than selling them to vendors who manufacture products like AMD.

        Where you see vertical integration, I see unnecessary and customer antagonistic siloing of function. Do you have any idea how impossible it is to send an apple user money from a non apple device?

          What does unnecessary and customer antagonistic siloing of function have to do with Apple’s vertical integration of manufacturing process? One doesn’t prevent the existence of the other within the same company.
