I would bet Apple uses offshoring development sites like any corporation on the same league.
Not sure I make the same bet. Generally you don't outsource your core competencies. Design and software are Apple's core competencies. Assembling hardware is not.
You might be surprised how many core competencies are done by the major consulting firms.
Offshoring doesn't necessarily mean outsourcing.
