Apple can afford to outbid them but not profitably in the short term. It may still be worth a short term loss for long term gain but that hasn't been Apple's strategy up to this point; they have always aimed at profitability from launch so far.

The reason Apple is interesting is not even because of their cash pile, it's their proven ability to command a premium price. This is what Netflix and every other streaming company has failed to do. That's why Apple is interesting, but like I said, that doesn't make it easy.
