My vote is on Apple IF, and its a big fat ugly IF, they ever would do two things...
1. Become agnostic to their own software. What others have said about Dropbox not getting acquired by Apple is a good thing is true. iCloud is specific to the Apple ecosystem. A great company would expand for all and I get that Apple doesn't need to and there are advantages in not doing so, but that leaves a lot of things off the table that they could. Expanding to allow some things to be cross platform will be a huge advantage for them if they can ever do it.
2. Get better at web services. Apple suck balls when it comes to running anything web related. Whether that's an ad company, a social network, or just about anything else they've tried. They should acquire a huge company in the space (something like FB) and expand to make this weakness a strength.
If not Apple (because of said reasons above), I vote for GitHub. Just kidding. I like Github but it'll probably be Tesla or SpaceX
- j2bax 14y agoIt seems as though Apple has in fact made certain offerings cross platform where it has served them well. iTunes is probably the largest, which made it so iOS device owners aren't limited to OSX and so they could sell digital content to everyone. Based on the success of that ecosystem you would think that they might consider expanding their reach across platforms in other areas in the future.
