They won’t and they can’t. Apple’s largest acquisition to date is Beats for $3B. Disney would cost Apple at least $200B (premium over current market cap).
But the biggest reason is that it won’t get approved by governments around the world. Heck, the UK made Facebook undo its $300m transaction for Gyphy. There’s no way governments would let Apple buy a $200B company.
In my opinion, it actually does make some sense for Apple to buy Disney. Their brands match. Apple has services such as Apple TV+ that synergizes well with Disney. And of course Apple would get a treasure trove of IPs to make content from. Lastly, Apple is one company big enough to outright buy Disney.
