Precisely the reason AAPL doesn't need anything from Valencia Circle, AND, also why they are NOT dependent upon Lugee li.
If Apple had a manufacturing process already developed, do you think you would know about it?
If Foxconn were already making parts for AAPL, do you think you would know about it?
Foxconn does not need Lugee Li. Foxconn, for the time being, needs Apple. But any student of Foxconn knows that they have plans which go beyound Apple.
