I wouldn't call their projects overengineered. They're overdesigned.

That's kinda the big difference between apple and everything else. Apple products are impeccablly designed with engineering and flexibility of use as an afterthought at best.

It's why they're often years behind on the actual tech, but have it implemented in a very clean, "pretty" manner.

Other companies get the tech out there and offer more flexibility for the power users, but they don't have the polish off Apple products.
