Apple Investments
Applehas acquired about 100 companies in 6 years π―π
That's a company every three to four weeks π€― π
Apple's largest acquisition in the last decade was its $3bn purchase of Beats by Dr. DreπΈ
Another notable purchase was music recognition software company Shazam, for $400m in 2018 π΅
However, Appleusually buys smaller technology firms and then incorporates their innovations into its own products. π
PRIMESENSE LIMITED, an Israeli 3D sensing company whose technology contributed to Appleβs FaceID ππ
drive.ai, a self-driving shuttle firm π
The company also took a $1bn stake in Chinese ride-hailing service Didi Chuxingππ
Microsoftpaid $26bn for LinkedIn, Amazonpaid $13.7bn for Whole Foods Marketand Facebookpaid $19bn for WhatsApp.
Appleβs ten largest purchases put together would still be worth far less than any of those deals.
