Why No One Can Copy Apple’s Hardware Design
Many companies want to build products with the quality of Apple’s, but as Ben Einstein of Bolt explains, that’s nearly impossible to do. One reason is that Apple has bought up many of the machines and firms capable of such precision manufacturing. Besides that, Apple has mastered some of the most difficult manufacturing processes, such as color-matching white plastic, mass-scale CNC machining, and laser-drilling holes.
CNC milling of aluminum is not the best process. It would be better to deep-draw the cases, but this is much more difficult to achieve. Other hardware companies just don't emphasize on these aspects of there products. Also Apple products in some aspects only offer poor quality.
