Here’s a great article about their organizational structure: https://hbr.org/2020/11/how-apple-is-organized-for-innovatio...
Like their products or not, Apple has been extraordinarily successful both in terms of sales and critical reception of their products compared to most companies.
They have flops too (Siri, HomePod, others), but are mostly successful. The recent buzz about the M1 chip is a perfect example of their industry-leading engineering.
Is the M1 that revolutionary? It seems more like the culmination of technology that has been around for years. Rosetta 2 is the most impressive part, and even that is kinda the most obvious method of x86 emulation that doesnt suck
It looks like an implementation of TSMC's process and similar chips will be available to everyone soon enough.
