The work done by the hardware dept to build CPUs has been a great achievement though. While this started under Jobs, Apple now arguably makes the best CPUs in the market. Competing with AMD/Intel is no easy feat.

My old turbo jet engine loud intel MacBook that made noise at the smallest amount of work imaginable vs the silent more powerful m series laptop that lasted what felt like forever battery wise in comparison was such a nice upgrade.

With everything I do now though my M1 and its 16gb of ram is becoming a little limiting so im going to have to do something about that eventually.

Edit: and its less obvious to others, but them making their own modems now is also a pretty big thing.

Modems? I didn't think those were much in use any more?

Cellular modems... the thing that makes our cell phone a phone.

Also your home internet comes in through a modem, but apple made a cellular one.

It's incredibly difficult to make a good cellular modem and the landscape is filled with so many patents that will get in your way, with Qualcomm being the dominant player.
