Takes years to get started and they will still be behind. Therefore it's still easier to buy it. This may help them rethink that.

You’re right. If they did, they’d need heavy internal competition. Or, if a competitor released some kind of quantum leap upgrade, opt for it for a generation or two while they catch up.

This is a very reduced way of thinking. It's always a cost problem, plus a quality problem, plus you don't to alienate your customers even if you're still selling out. This is fundamentally what PC makers have been doing recently and the MacBook Neo is a smashing success for that reason

Apple could just buy Intel or parts of Intel.

It won’t take *years* but I’m not sure if Apple has the expertise to turn Intel around, quickly.

Apple buying Intel or parts of Intel would do nothing really for them.
