    I suppose a good bit about this is that even the new MacBooks should have the horsepower to change the display color. Even if it has to calculate the time.

    Leading edge here. The future's so bright that you gotta wear shades.

    They don't R&D real hardware, they buy off the shelf components from Samsung, LG, et al, and then their engineers put them together.

    Really? Where in the Samsung, LG et al Catalogs can I find an A11x SoC, for example?

    Where is the TouchBar Display and Controller? Show me the Catalog page!

    And the SSD Controller in the 2016 MacBook Pros, where can I buy that?

    I could go on and on, and if I want to look back, there is Apple-Designed custom silicon clear back to the Apple ][ days...

    You talk a lot of shit there, buddy.
