Merger and acquisitions by Apple. (Battery company?)
So far from what I know Apple has acquired around 21 companies. None of them being related to a battery manufacturing company. What I need to know is, has Apple ever acquired a battery manufacturing company? If not are there any rumours suggesting that they might in the near future?
With iCloud coming this fall, they must be looking ways of improving their products battery life. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks guys.
Jason.
