apple did initially want to build on what they saw as the best fab - Intel. unlock the power Intel would bring for their phone. But they had some design objectives focused on user experience (power/cost) and Intel didn't see the value. Intel then scrambled to try and build what apple had asked for but without the software.

Nokia kept doing crazy hardware to show off on hardware side. But these old companies can't stop nickle and dimeing - so you'd get stuff w crazy drm etc. And software wasn't there or invested in fully.
