> Apple doesn't make design decisions based on redundant stock.

One would like to think that way.

All the (expensive and custom-manufactured) evidence backs up that thinking, so I'm not sure why you're being snarky about it.

iPhone 5c, iPhone SE, Apple watch series 1 etc use evidence that Apple takes availability of stock parts into design considerations.

That doesn't imply that the Apple Watch poor sales theory is correct though

The iPhone 5c was an attempt at a "youth market" that didn't exist, but I'll agree it was cheap for them to make it.

However, the iPhone SE had 98% of the guts of the 6S in a smaller package. That's not a cheap or simple thing to do.

And the Series 1 Apple Watch had a better CPU. That's basically a different watch.
