Apple has an extremely large cash reserve, it exceeds 150 billion dollars and the company has been criticized for not spending that money offering dividends to shareholders or buying other companies. Well, from October 2012 until now, Apple he bought no less than 9 companies, but he only publicly announced the acquisition of the most important of them. Even if the number is not small, most of them are small companies, Apple avoiding acquiring large, well-known companies.
Tim Cook stated that Apple is constantly looking for companies that develop services or technologies that can enhance the functionality of Apple products and services, and in 2013 other acquisitions will be made. Apple is a company that prefers to buy startups and not already well-developed companies, but that does not mean that in the future we could not witness important acquisitions.
