ADC - Apple did it, not a manufacturer. The heat sensitive power button - Apple did it, not a manufacturer. Apple is very involved in their design work in all their products.
Another example - their keyboards, ever taken one apart? You should, its incredible the amount of design work in circuitry that Apple put into them, like them or not, one should appreciate the level of engineering they do.
Your description better fits Dell.

i'm sure they've designed cases, but frankly, apple has no business designing
monitor electronics, they simply don't do enough volume to have developed the
skills and maintain the right engineers. very, very few people who can design a
logic board could design good monitor electronics. i know, i've fixed a lot of
monitors and they are by far the trickiest and most touchy electronics around.
a lot of monitor design is lessons learned the hard way making tv sets and
making monitors for years. apple may develop specs, and the case, they don't
get to or want to design the electronics unless they are nuts!
