Apple Bringing More Chip Development In House

[businezguy]

Wow...
That didn't take long. Today news breaks that *wait for it.......* Apple is hiring NEW employees to work on this baseband chip!!!!

I guess you'll have to find something else to cry & mope about and get all doomsday with. Cheers.

I have a better solution. Since employee count is your sole measure of success for Apple, we'll just switch Apple employees for postal employees. USPS has far more employees than Apple. I'm glad I could solve the issue in your overly simplistic world.

Where will they make these chips? like Tim said, in terms of made in USA " I think we can do more"

Malta, NY 2nd or 3rd Q 2016.

Maybe a deal with TI to reuse their sagging domestic fabs?

Their A-series processors are already made in the US- Samsung's fabs in Texas.

Lulz...
Because I don't think it's going to be a stretch even a teeny tiny bit for Apple to bring something as minor as baseband chip design in house, I live in a simplistic world??

Ok pal.
I love your supposition that somehow I equate employee count w/ being responsible for Apple's success!!!
Hahahahaha...!!!! Omg, I've seen people read into things & jump to bizarre conclusions before, but you sir- REALLY take the cake.
Thx for the chuckle.

I thought you mentioned Apple had 80k employees and cited that as a reason they weren't stretched thin. Gosh, my mistake. On the other hand, you really did do that, so I thought I'd point out how silly that was. That was silly.

Apple was late to LTE for the same reason they didn't include 3G in the first iPhone: they wanted to keep their build costs down. Nothing changed as far as power requirements in between.

links? sounds a lot like opinion.

Yeah? How many of those employees work in retail stores. How many of those employees are qualified engineers who can work on this problem to begin with? Obviously we aren't discussing money here so I'm not sure why you'd bring it up.

because money is the resource that determines how thinly you are stretched.
