IMO, comparing Ubiquiti to Apple is a bit insulting...to Ubiquiti. The way Ubiquiti does things seems so much more "open source" than Apple. They do have an obvious Apple influence though, especially from a marketing standpoint.
As a side note, I used to be a huge Apple fan, back when they had the rainbow logo. The switch of that to a solid color pretty much coincided with their loss of "cred" in my eyes. It was a great thing for their bottom line though.
