I guess they are trying to get them addicted at a young age - hence the fashion emphasis.
Who knows, nobody seems to have much clarity on the logic (besides "buying" talent and Beats does have 1.1billion in revenue, so not a "bad" investment).
Beats does make a few car systems, but nothing compared to Harmon. Maybe that's what they are aiming to include? Dunno, but I can't see Beats being put in a BMW anytime soon (I sure as hell wouldn't buy it! Or anything with "Beats" label).
Given their cash, if they wanted streaming they could have bought the best, if they wanted car they could have bought Harmon, if they wanted talent I am sure they could find some for a lot less than $3billion.
Apple is losing some momentum. They once dominated the high end, but now they are just on par, the rest has (almost) caught up. I'll be getting a Surface 3 and ditching my iPad as soon as it is available (August for the i7), just got a S5 for one of my sales people, so much nicer than the 5s (with the exception of the slow motion, which is nice).
Time will tell, these moves are the first for the Cook era, if there is any faltering, Apple's stock will plummet, but I'd bet the keep making cash for a long time, just become more of a fashion brand selling a ton of "stuff" vs. a high end company focused on perfection.
- Was waxing quasirhetorical anyway. Essentially, wtf. Totally agree with everything you said too.stepson
- so, you think the stock price will fall but they'll keep making money regardless? bwaaahhahahaamonospaced
