Apple produces hardware at a scale not imaginable to mortal people. When they want to use a chip in their phone, they just buy up the chip's factory's entire production run for the next few years.
Apple was the only company that had no shortages during the chip troubles of 2020/21/22. That’s because they plan ahead. They have a logistics person at the helm, and it’s very visible.
All of this naturally leads to ridiculous planning cycles.
How does it taste?
