Apple only started working on its processors in around 2008. At that time there were only 40 or 50 engineers… The team got bigger through greater ambitions and acquisitions and in 2023 there are “thousands of engineers working across labs all over the world,” including those in the U.S. Israel, Germany, Austria, the U.K., and Japan.

Electronics galore. Moore’s Law manifesting

Yeah, not surprised at all. Apple’s known to recruit some of the smartest new grads and existing hardware engineers. At Berkeley, they were heavily investing in computer engineering such as our research and classes. One CE class was literally created by Apple.
