Vertical Integration Supremacy: Apple’s aggressive expansion of in-house engineering capabilities signals a strategic pivot toward reducing vendor dependency and internalizing high-margin software services, thereby strengthening its long-term Adjusted EBITDA margins and insulating core hardware revenue streams from commoditization risks.
