iPhone X Teardown

I don’t get it. Apple makes the best mobile processors in the world. They routinely introduce low volume manufacturing techniques to the iPhone, which they then scale to 100+ million units per year. How are they somehow not a hardware company?

They design processors, but they are manufactured in volume by Samsung or other outsourcing companies.

You have to design the hardware with the manufacturing process in mind. It's not like a re-compile.

I’m not saying that they actually manufacture the products. I’m saying they are a hardware company.
