These were all existing technologies. Apple's contribution is in making them more user friendly for some definition of user and friendly.

They made some improvements here, but they bought an IC designer firm to do it. Most of the real innovation in hardware is still coming from the likes of TSMC, ASML.
Architecture is secondary right now. How Anthropic cleaned up the datasets for training and tuned the alignment - that's the real engineering magic. OpenAI came up with GPT, but Anthropic turned it into a fully functional tool for engineers

I believe GP was asking who innovates in Apple's space.
And applying your very argument, isn't Anthropic just polishing stuff like Transformers and Attention that were invented by other labs?
