There are an infinite number of shades of grey between “slap brand on an OEM product” and “the full Apple”. Companies often shift their approach (in both directions!) over time, and it will vary for different product lines.

One reference I could f…
Take mobile phones as an example: Chinese brands were knockoffs a couple of years ago. Now they are innovating and setting standards.
