Did Apple invent much of its early tech, or did it just lift it from Xerox Park?

apple may not be a pure tech company, they re a gadget company, but they have developed a lot of technologies that they can patent, a lot of UX things, and it seems they have evolved many of the preexisting ones. I don't really know what netflix does, do they develop things like video codecs, load balancing tech or recommendation algorithms?
