SAN JOSE, Calif. — So far, Intel has reaped relatively small but strategic wins as a key supplier for Apple. The story could start to shift in the next year.
Today, Apple uses Intel’s Core processors in its Macintosh computers and its LTE basebands in its iPhones and iPads. Long term, both design wins could unravel.
“If there’s any lesson learned by its suppliers, it’s that Apple is a risk because Apple wants to own every element of the ecosystem that it can, any IP that it can get to create its own solutions,” said veteran Apple watcher Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies. “In the end, Apple wants to control its entire supply chain to drive its designs and profitability.”
