They aren’t able, as the current situation is living proof from that. Note the ongoing chip/semiconductor crisis.

Sure, but this is recent and temporary, and caused in large part by a once-in-a-century pandemic.

It is not pandemic alone, otherwise we would have supply already. This problem has developed for years already[1].

And what about pandemic, because of it, supply chains were surprised with the demand of elecronics. So, they could not respond for the demand. And Apple would have had a limit anyway for chip manufacturing based on this.
