Win what specific version of the Nobel?
- simbolit 3y agoEconomics is not actually a Nobel Prize, which leaves us with 5: Literature - unlikely Peace - I can construe some scenario, but - again - unlikely. Physiology or Medicine - For the Apple Watch? Chemistry - unlikely, they don't do fundamental research Physics - same
- culi 3y agoNobody still knows why they gave Obama the Peace prize. Makes me think that's the most likely one
- willsmith72 3y agoOn the other hand, they also didn't anticipate the negative reaction to that, so I doubt they'd do the same thing again knowingly.
- simbolit 3y agoHenry Kissinger won the Peace Prize 1973 for ending the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War ended in 1975.
- caycep 3y agohistorically, the Nobels seem to prefer basic research and stuff; an applied science/engineering company like Apple probably isn't on their radar. They would have to fund a basic science blue sky division like Bell Labs or one of the old IBM pure research centers to really be a player in the game; but those things rarely play well with corporate interests. W the media arm of the company, I think they do have a few oscar contenders, so a nobel lit prize if they ever get into written content creation is not a stretch...
