The Apple 1 and Apple II were largely designed by them, the OS was written by Apple, they licensed Basic from Microsoft. The Integrated Woz Machine [0] ran the floppy drive. It seems like it's part of their DNA, they always try to do as much as possible themselves. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Woz_Machine
