do you honestly believe that apple designs and manufacturers everything with an
apple logo? no one does. there are many, many consumer items that are made by
a handful of companies, and custom marked for the "brand" desired. for example,
i doubt apple has ever, ever designed a monitor. at least most "apple" monitors
are in fact made by other companies, possibly with some spec tweaking done by
the real manufacturer for apple. this is good, monitor design is hard, and
there are already enough people good at that. plus it means the parts are a lot
more available for repair.
Actually Apple has designed all of them, however, to my knowledge they have not manufactured any of them. So if that was your point you are correct. Apple does a ton of design work and always has, manufacturing is a different case entirely.
