    It's just unbelievable how Intel manages to fail everywhere it competes lately. Stuck on 14nm process for years and showing no breakthrough. Shamed on the mobile SoC market, they were forced to exit it. Modems - most of them are late to market and have issues. Luckily there was no competition on the PC market, otherwise they would have been obliterated by now. This is a company going nowhere. They changed management and are going from bad to worse.

      However, they are arrogant and greedy, but do have a knack for high quality, taste, and an eye for detail. Plus, they are the best marketers around.

        Told ya! They had another plan, this is the first step... but 5G is not the real deal for them, kudos Intel!

Displays usually come from Samsung. Cameras from Sony. Motherboards & hardware from Foxxconn. Modems from Intel/Qualcomm. SoC by TSMC.

          What does Apple make by themselves?

            look who came crawling back to Qualcomm LOL

              They are so innovative.... why they dont make their own chips? Oh wait... they never make anything by them self :D

                Apple should start eating some humble pie: you have to give and take somehow to earn back more than you spend
