It appears they use at least some amount of Super Micro hardware, possibly in very generic or custom cases (ie, they're not buying Dell.) That being said, I have to wonder how much datacenter space Apple really has. IIRC most of their iCloud services are hosted on various 3rd party cloud providers.

The rumour is that iTunes runs on a literal warehouse filled with mac minis. I'm not kidding.

The rest of it I would imagine is just commodity hardware like you said (supermicro is good stuff generally)
