The big reason why they use all these custom parts is that Tim Cook has supreme confidence in his Chinese manufacturing partners’ abilities.

Rather than design around a standard “parts bin”, the parts cater to the design. So there have been things like weird L-shaped batteries rather than a standard rectangle.

When Apple tried to make the trash can Mac Pro in America, it was a failure because American companies could not manufacture at the speed/scale or tolerances required even for screws.

So even in his memoir Mike is still smearing China with nonsense like China was delaying info sharing and spreading disinformation. Fuck you Pompeo.

Pompeo has ambitions for presidency, hence he is trying to paint himself as "more anti-China than Trump". Seriously, he would be a nightmare as President, but the good thing is he has zero charisma and totally unlikeable. This overweight fat toad has Zero chance.
