Nokia were crazy back in the day but I think people may remember them a bit too fondly. I remember how whenever there was some new tech or idea they would absolutely trickle them out just to try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible. If there were two new pieces of tech they’d release two phones, with each of them having one of the new pieces of tech. Back in those days they just refused to make the absolute best phone possible. That’s one of the biggest changes that came from the iPhone.
You not think it could’ve been a cost saving measure too though and that putting the two new pieces of tech in one phone would’ve made it too expensive for anyone to buy
That’s called “diversification of investments”. And what Apple and other companies today are doing is called “putting all resources onto one critical point” (or “milking the golden cow till it’s dead”, I guess).
Good strategy is to do both. Finding a critical point gives you advantage, but things change and oligopolies gained by past successes don’t last forever.
