  • Bob Iger: Disney and Apple likely to have merged if Steve Jobs was alive

    Well duh. 

    Jobs had a controlling share in most of disney - granted to him when he “sold” Pixar, which was trouncing Disney at the box office. Disney was desperate and Jobs saved the day. I think it was 51% of the company shares? Dude was owning. 

    He would have taken disney and used that as Apples entertainment content brand much like they did with beats. Only Disney would have fared better. Not sure jobs would have even bought beats. 

    Iger would he be working for Steve. 

    Steve Jobs has such clear vision. It’s really difficult to gain that kind of clarity. But he had it. 

    Apple would have assimilated Disney and it would have been grand. 
    Jobs received just over 7% of Disney I believe which his widow still owns.

    Is 200k supposed to be a lot? Hundreds of millions of iPhone users and 200k is going to move the needle?
    That's 200K in the FIRST 48 hours, so yes, that will move the needle. It will be interesting to see how many of them actually subscribe. Just because there are millions of iPhone, iPad, and Mac users (yes, it's available on all three platforms) doesn't mean all these users even know News+ was even released or updated their software to even be able to use it. Yes, 200K trial activations is a huge deal.

    And it's US only, so even more impressive.
    I’m in Canada and I just signed up for my trial
