Reply to comment by Prax150 in Apple raises the price of Apple TV+ to $6.99 by Murky-Insect-7556

Yeah they would have no problem but Apple isn't known for big acquisitions like that. Beats remains their biggest one IIRC.

Also, I don't think they're going all-in (or even half in) on video streaming, Apple TV+ is like a side hustle to them, it's not their main interest.

They could have gone for Warner when AT&T sold it but apparently had no interest (Comcast and Discovery were the only ones apparently and Comcast dropped it). Now that's it's with shitty reality TV with Discovery, I highly doubt they are more interested

You're right I think Beats is pretty much their only 10+ digit buy. They generally make really smart acquisitions so I think it's more a matter of waiting for the right company to buy rather than not wanting to spend the money. I could totally see why they wouldn't be interested in a legacy company like Comcast or Warner that comes with more problems than it's probably worth.

Honestly I'm thinking more Netflix. They've very highly valued now but if the price is right that feels like it could fit.
