    Billions of wasted dollars are nothing to you?

    Like I have said all along, I predicted Apple would fail.

    The reason is not that I'm a genius - it's that Apple has _never_ designed
    a best-in-class chip in their entire history (and no, a chip that has to be secretly throttled is not best in class by any stretch of the imagination).

    Apple can't build a GPU (they failed).
    Apple can't build a 5G modem (they failed).
    Apple's so-called 'secure' enclave had holes the size of school buses!

    Hell, Apple is so incompetent at chip design that they can't even
    _integrate_ an existing 5G modem into the main SOC.

    The summary is clear: *Apple is incompetent at chip design*

    But Apple is _great_ at marketing (so the iKooks don't notice)... :)

    Except you've already insisted that they didn't design chips...

    ...AT ALL.

    As long as you can sell it to the public, you can do anything.

    And you can only to continue to sell it to the public—year after year
    for an eon in technological time...

    ...if the public finds it useful.
