- thih9 2y agoDo you have a source? Preferably one that also says that Apple doesn’t spend that much when using code from companies they have bought?
- aranchelk 2y agoI imagine this situation is kind of unique. Once a company finds out the features they sell will be integrated into the 1st party platform, and they have a chance to get out of the business, and they know they’ve got competitors that Apple could turn to next, I imagine Apple would be getting a steep discount. Especially if it’s an aqui-hire — peace of mind the employees will be taken care of.
