>Apple don't make commodities

ARM chips are also commodities nowadays. I lost count of how many companies make them. Yet Apple chose to make their own.

Charging circuitry chips are also commodities and Apple bought the division of Dialog semiconductors making such chips to have in house knowledge.

Now Apple bought the modem division of Intel so we're gonna see GSM modems from them in the future.

Not in any non-Apple device, that is. The rest of the world will be stuck with with Qualcomm, Broadcom and some crap from Mediatek.

Apple doesn't sell commodities might be more accurate.
