People suggest this a lot, but I think it's not a good fit. While some of Disney's profit centers would be a good match for Apple (Film and Television), others (Theme parks and merchandise) would be a lot of distraction. Disney's workforce is almost twice the size of Apple, and Apple is very protective of its work culture and how people function in the company.
I think Apple much more prefers to operate as a partner to Disney
- lotsofpulp 3y agoZero reason for Apple to get into a flailing business like Disney. It earns peanuts at low profit margins compared to Apple’s existing business, and has extremely high liability exposure due to all the theme parks and whatnot.
