Besides the funny fact that many years ago people would blog that Sony should buy Apple, I don't think this is a good idea. In general, I don't think anything good comes out of a large company buying another large company. We get less variety and competition. Sony once was, what Apple is now, a company which would create very unique and beautiful pieces of technology. Their advertising slogan "It is not a trick, it is a Sony" really held true - they would come up with very innovative and nicely designed things. But while a shadow of its past, the old Sony is not gone. Their camera division currently is making the best sensors on the market and their A7 mirrorless line is very popular for a good reason. Being bought by Apple would probably destroy all of this. Apple buying high-tech startups and small companies completely makes sense. They cannot compete with the industry giants, so being bought means that their technology comes to market faster. But for an established company with their very own line of products it would possibly mean destruction as Apple most likely wouldn't allow them to keep their own product lines.
