Any industry standard, any open sourced algorithm, any innovation which they shared? Intel has shit engineers, shit pay, shit products, shit management. Now that's settled. Can someone answer my question. So far: 1. Paying engineers well 2. Paying suppliers
Anybody?
See above?
They make the best hardware. Improved standards of hw engineers
Well for one, bankrolling TSMC. How’s 10nm rollout going.

Still waiting for my answer
Apple doesn’t pay shit to suppliers. They make them fight each other for peanuts then charge the consumer 1000 x more. I have more respect for a used car dealer than Apple (as a business nothing against propels he work there). Result : semiconductor industry has been trying to race to the bottom and manufacturing has moved to China. Once the phone thing dies Apple will go down the toilet they created. Their contribution? A phone that rings and then freezes when you pick it up. Re inventing the credit card ? Also Apple isn’t a semiconductor company. They make no semiconductor. Don’t confuse with Samsung who make every bit that goes to their products. Apple just buys carp wraps it around twisted aluminum and sells at 1000x profit.
Man you shouldn't have said that. Now they will all start trashing Intel and not answer the original question just like they have been doing so far
This is so true. Calling Apple a semiconductor company is a misnomer. I also find it funny when people talk about the big software companies investing in hardware - IC design is more hardware than software, but it's nowhere close to running a fab.
Not that they invented it, but they sure forced adoption of certain technologies like USB (and USB-C now). Wireless headphones are way better now since they dropped the headphone jack. Widespread adoption of MP3 players and then smartphones in general (they popularized the current touch form factor). MagSafe was ingenious. Pure idiocy to get rid of it. I’m surprised no other manufacturer tried to copy it.
That's kind of you to think if Apple creates something & they are going to share it.
Apples contribution to Semiconductor industry is to pay its hardware engineers a respectable salary as compared to Software engineers and most of the other Hardware Companies(especially Top Contributors).
Monolith, who else in HW pays similar or greater?
I heard broadcom and maybe fb/goog
