I am not working at Apple, but I just want to point out that there is a big power in terms of quality when a company controls the end-to-end process of creating a product.

Here are some examples:

- It eliminates some quality issues due to requirements misunderstanding

- It eliminates some delays specially the ones related to decision making

- It might allow deployment of the same levels of QA and QC with impact in the final product

I get it control over e2e process is important but there are other companies too like Samsung, MSFT ,AMAZ and even GOOG who has control over most of the e2e product pipeline but still cannot deliver Apple quality product, not even close.

I think there is something more deeper here which is worth putting effort to explore and to be spread across different companies, otherwise this product quality gap will never be closed.

I am huge fan of APPL but at same point I want their product decision knowhow to be spread across different industries like in health , education , automotive , VR to have deeper impact on overall society. APPL by itself cannot enter into all these segments on its own so there is no direct competition for them.

I am always fascinated by how APPL abstract solid technology(hardware and software both) underneath their minimalist design which make their products so painless to be used addictively on daily basis.
