Sword, you’re an idiot. I don’t know what else to say.
The lack of manufacturing capacity is because no one else wants to pay for more capacity. Which is what the article said, which is what I said.
You somehow insist that there can be no more capacity added. That’s clearly wrong.
What can I say - you’re an idiot.
I think "wants to" is a big kicker here. Apple has historically been inclined to invest major money in such things. They buy CNC, they buy up most of the world's capacity for at least a year. They buy memory, they secure hundreds of millions of dollars of NAND for the next several years, same for LCDs. Because of this, Apple is not vulnerable to fluctuations in price and availability. The competition, not so inclined, still vulnerable.
