It's common. Look at Samsung with Tizen, or basically any pre-Android/iOS mobile manufacturer. The skills needed to make software and hardware are very different. Apple is one of the few companies in the world that successfully built combined teams.

With Steve Jobs around, one should add.
The Apple without Steve Jobs wasn't that great and it still remains to be seen how they will do now.
After all, for how long can they keep selling new iPhones and Macs only?
Of course, they have the bank full and can afford to make a few errors for the time being.
