@raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie @hzulla@infosec.exchange Apple is a very interesting company. Their level of vertical integration is nothing short of a marvel.
I agree there is a cultist component part of the company.
On the other hand, I always knew beforehand what I get at what price. It is the big tech company with the smallest amount of disappointment.

@masek@infosec.exchange @hzulla@infosec.exchange It's a marketing company with some R&D. They don't have vertical integration.

@masek@infosec.exchange @raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie @hzulla@infosec.exchange Vertical integration is a base requirement for any company intending to stay in business over time. It doesn't mean to execute in all areas all the time, just being able to do so is a huge plus. But it's one not really showing up as needed in localized, short term view, leading to outsourcing and finally loosing.
