It’s no secret that Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has hired many display technology experts over the last several years. In fact, a cursory glance at Apple’s job boards shows that the company routinely hires display experts with expertise in working on the actual display panels as well as the chips required to drive those displays.
Today, though, Apple still relies on third parties to manufacture those displays and almost certainly depends on those third parties’ expertise — as well as its own technology development and ingenuity — to get those displays built.
