It's not really how Apple does acquisitions. They prefer smaller companies who aren't going to overwhelm the culture of the company.

- boringg 5y agoThat's true. I was just thinking it would be an easy product to integrate into the health offering and it would be a pretty significant amount of people. Also if it was re-branded as Apple it would attract an even greater amount of people. That said I would imagine apple would need to repackage and improve the product offering so it is up to snuff.
- paxys 5y agoThey do all kinds of acquisitions. Beats was exactly the same fit. Most of the company's value was in its branding and cultural buzz rather than actual products.
- threeseed 5y agoBeats had 700 employees many of which were engineers/developers etc. 200 of them were let go before the acquisition. Peloton has 14,000 employees. 20x the size.
