What value would Apple add to Tesla? Apple CarPlay is available from most manufacturers already. Maybe they could negotiate better with suppliers?

If Netflix takes a hit like is predicted in the article maybe Apple should buy that? They already have a streaming music offering and negotiate with studios for music rights. They could bundle their media rights negotiations and secure access to streaming video content for their devices. They might even shift some of the streaming burden to Apple’s own data centers to save costs.

DuckDuckGo is arguably a potential Apple acquisition. The company is small and easy to integrate. The privacy focus aligns with Apple’s messaging. Just give it an Apple skin, rebrand it as Siri Search, and integrate with Apple’s search ads. I just wonder if DDG’s search partnerships are sustainable once it starts taking away meaningful traffic from companies doing the “real work.”
