Apple buying Tidal.

[Dr Tone]

But is the topic of this thread a rumour, or is there some actual fact driving this discussion?

Just rumour and very unlikely.


My point was, I don't think there has been any historical case of apple buying a software/service company or technology that they didn't melt into their ecosystem/brand.  IMO, if they did buy Tidal, it's continued existence as is would be on life support.  Not something I want to see.

Beats being the exception, they simply bought the brand name on that one.  The hardware was and still remains nothing innovative.
