The corner that "Andrew" has painted himself into is that if the only 
thing that Apple does is have superior marketing, then that is the 
answer to his "what innovation does Apple do better?" troll.

Plus Apple clearly does a lot of "Make or Buy" business assessments to 
decide on where to prioritize their R&D investments.  This leads us back 
to his belief that no one company can be successful unless they 
personally invent and make every last component totally in-house, which 
is totally absurd and followed by literally no one.  Likewise, his 
apparent belief (also quite absurd) that every S&T project is always and 
immediately fully successful as originally envisioned.

Reality for both is quite distant from these beliefs, which is why even 
his attempts to worship Android fall far short of this vision, as 
illustrated by how Android handset manufacturers *also* have had to 
outsource their modem chips to Qualcomm rather than to invent & fab them 
in-house like he's trying to ask of Apple.  Yeah, hypocritical.

As I said, it shows that "Andrew" has never professionally worked on any 
technological development efforts ... except perhaps as their janitor.
