Most of their stuff is actually made by Samsung. Apple does do it's own software though, which is why they're mostly crap.
Apple has some parts by Samsung, and other parts from elsewhere. They are manufactured by others, yet again.
Samsung can do parts, but they can’t put together a complete consumer product in Apple’s market worth a darn ... LOL ..

That’s capitalism and the free market system for you, where profits signal who has given the consumers what they want ... :-) ...

Apple software is the envy of all of its competitors. Google certainly flatters it by imitation!
That said, you’re completely wrong on your other point. Apple designs its Arm processors for instance - and they’re best in class.
