> Apple had originally planned on using their own cellular chips half a decade ago.

This is one of the reasons Apple bought Intel's modem division. That was only in 2019, though.

>It's that Apple is at a scale where they find themselves tired of paying tens of billions of dollars for Qualcomm and Broadcom stuff.

This is the point. Apple is at a point where it actually does make sense to spend the tens of billions of dollars in their own All-in-One Wireless Chip because - if they can do it - then they can save tens of billions of dollars a year. It's a simple ROI Calculation.

Lmao, I seriously doubt you study each and every person you know during every waking hour of their day. Also, nice super duper subtle brag about how many people you know.

And even if I believed you, which I don't, maybe people don't use the 3.5mm jack because they don't have them? Hard to use something you don't have. Just a thought.

>Same, now I feel compelled to do something cool with it just because of the knowledge that there’s a shortage

My Pi is just sitting attached to my 3D printer that I haven't used in forever because I had health issues. I could probably sell it for a profit or use it in some other project but I do want to get my 3D printer up and running again sooner or later and Octoprint makes life so much easier.
