OK, so Boeing is famously falling apart largely because it has outsourced too much of its manufacturing processes, and lost the ability to control quality. 

Does outsourcing always have that result? Are there examples of organizations that have done this successfully, and what distinguishes them?

ive never seen an outsourced product that was as good as what the in house team could make

I'm good at making mistakes. Sometimes I improve, but I never make the same mistake twice.

Someone else mentioned Apple as a counter example? The iPhone would arguably be impossible without outsourcing.

Not design, just manufacturing. A few things I recall:
Glass is from Corning
Chips from TSMC
Assembly by FoxConn

I'm not familiar with the  iPhone development. Did they outsource the design or?
