Hi Jamil,

Yes, i think being an independent and end-to-end manufacturer they were able to pull this off, where others thought they would fail.

I didnt realise that other Smartphone manufacturers are bound by their suppliers. That now makes more sense as to why they aren’t delivering on this.

Good point.

Personally, I think what Apple did was to consider the totality of the product and not just software or hardware on their own.

It seems they started with the boundary of the whole and then worried about what was required in side it and to deliver on it.

I guess many other smart phone manufactures are bound by their suppliers or the thinking and innovation offered by their suppliers.

best wishes
