Apple was a member of the PowerPC group, AIM (Apple, IBM, Motorola), before it became apparent Intel was leaps ahead. Prior to the Pentium M68k and PowerPC were well ahead of Intel.
Apple had an entire line of really good wifi routers before shutting it down. A line of servers and storage they also abandoned.
You can never really guess what Apple's plans are because they don't work like traditional business. They have little loyalty to their own products and will absolutely go with an outside supplier if they determine they can do it better.
