This campus was impressively massive in square footage all for R&D, testings, corporate functions, and product reveals. Wouldn't it be much more impressive if Apple made provisions for actual manufacturing/assembly of their products within the confines of this campus?

If they spent more money innovating instead of pumping it into the new campus maybe we would have a half decent feature rich smartphone. Samsung is gaining on them and I'm getting mad about it ugh Apple is not currently superior anymore, I've spent too long saying how great Apple is pick it up guys !

Apple isn't Greg anymore? Are you just looking at the iPhone. Let me remind you this project has started a few years ago and any company good or bad can do the same easily, so by Apple standards,mThey are doing okay whether Samsung is ahead or not, but you can't really excuse anything because as usual, they release a phone months after apple does only to attempt to stay ahead of them, but for rich features, we got a few of them and you can figure it out yourself, but my point is about phones with a gap between that involves them being released months apart goes to show that a later released phone uses more new technology that may have been used later on after iPhone was released, so if anything, Apple ain't the problem here.
