Apple's in-house chip design is a game-changer

Apple's shift to in-house chip design has been a game-changer. The company's custom silicon powers its popular products, with all new Macs now using Apple's own chips. The team has grown to thousands of engineers worldwide, focusing on system on a chip (SoC) designs. The latest A17 Pro chip, based on 3-nanometer technology, enables advanced graphics rendering for the iPhone 15 Pro. Apple's move away from Intel processors to its M1 chip has also been a significant leap. However, the company still relies on third parties for components like modems and memory.
