Final Cut Pro was bought from Macromedia. And Logic from Emagic. And off the top of my head Astarte (iDVD), FileMaker (FileMaker Pro and Bento, though that was originally spun out or Apple in the first place), SoundJam (iTunes), Siri (Siri).
All of these were mildly- to hugely-successful products.
- kccqzy 2y agoI didn't know iDVD also came from Astarte. But DVD Studio Pro definitely came from Astarte. And then of course it was discontinued.
- kergonath 2y agoYou are right: the direct continuity was DVD Studio Pro. iDVD was developed by ex-Astarte people but did not exist before the acquisition.
- troupo 2y agoNote how most of them are from the era when Apple cared about software, especially pro software. And how Siri is a barely functioning stagnant service. You'd be hard pressed to find any more recent success stories.
