Wow, they hired a ton of people and acquired Intel’s modem business in the hopes of having their own modem. That’s an expensive experiment
There's a reason Intel exited in the first place. Had they been successful, it would've been a business worth tens of billions of dollars. They exited and Apple wanted to try because the money to buy the business for Apple is chump change.
They could even acquire TSMC if push came to shove. Their large cash holdings gives Apple so much strategic leverage.
Yeah no the Taiwanese government would never allow it.
