Yes it’s true. Apple used to have a huge research contingent that developed products in-house. In fact in the 80s they took over from Atari as the the coolest place to do non-academic research in consumer computing.
But they were shrinking their R&D even before Jobs took back the company, and he has managed to reduce Apple’s R&D spend by over 50% since.
So now they can no longer develop in-house, they have to buy from outside. That’s why they assembled the iPod from the PortalPlayer and the PicOS.
FYI, the video stuff he’s talking about is Spruce Technologies
