Amazon’s Chips Threaten Intel

Apple sold 217 MILLION iPhones in just 2017 alone.

That's a number that doesn't include iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, or Macs - all of which have custom Apple silicon in them.

I think you're severely underestimating Apple here.

There are lots of countries around the world where common people hardly get to see an Apple device on the wild.

There are lots of places where you rarely see PCs, too, but that doesn’t mean that Intel and AMD don’t sell a lot of chips. 200M per year is well into the economies of scale range.

That has nothing at all to do with the original point, or even my point.
