OG iPhone had Google as Maps provider and YouTube both within Apple shells and the branding downplayed in Maps case

That’s the only case I can think of where it’s an external tech you’re making requests to, usually it’s things like Rosetta made out of Apple IIRC but integrated internally

Don’t think that’s right. I think Rosetta was always made inside Apple.

Perhaps mixing it up because of Rosetta Stone?

> Transitive is providing the engine used in Apple's Rosetta software, which translates software for its current machines using PowerPC processors so it can run on forthcoming Intel-based Macintoshes. "We've had a long-term relationship with them," Transitive Chief Executive Bob Wiederhold said Tuesday.

Thank you for the correction. For those wanting to know more, the technology was called QuickTransit.

Rosetta 2 may have been developed in-house, though. That bit isn’t yet clear.
