They don't read the post.When it comes to hardware Apple just re-brand and repackage standard parts. Even the A4 which they claim to have designed is basically a repackaged Samsung Hummingbird.
Gone are the days of the G4 etc.I think the only original piece of Apple hardware left is their marketing machine.
@fais The G4 was not designed or produced by Apple either. I don't get your whining, no consumer manufacturer designs and produces its own CPU's, GPU's, batteries or whatever, because specialized companies can do it better. The Apple A4 is an ARM core like many others, the 'designed by Apple' aspect of the chip is simply a few tweaks to the ARM core that Apple requested, such as taking out IP blocks that aren't used anyway.
I don't know why people are surprised by some marketing spin. What do you guys expect, that Apple announce new products saying 'hey guys, we've thrown together some run-of-the-mill parts into this new device that runs our software'? Every commercial company in existence tries to make their products look more special than others, and the ones that fail at it, they don't sell. Hardly suprising if you ask me, and nothing particular to Apple.
Believe it or not, some people actually believe that Apple actually makes every component of ever product they sell. I've seen it on this here site from time to time.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.

Ok, wrong choice of words. When did Apple start SELLING batteries.
