If Apple does not qualify as "cutting-edge technology" then what does?

When I think cutting-edge, I usually think highly specialized medical or military tech - things that a only a small set of people can design/build.

But, it is a pretty flimsy phrase and could be open to abuse. Which is why I asked if other consumer electronics companies have succeeded/failed to obtain a waiver.

Sure, that is the absolute cutting edge.

But you don't need retail stores to sell specialized medical or military technology.
