   If by “Unix” you mean the original OS written at Bell Labs ... Apple’s   
   products have none of that code in them.   
      
   In any case, it wasn’t Apple that took the lion’s share of the mobile   
   market away from Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft was too focused on   
   copying Apple, and completely missed the threat from Android.
