Apple has a history of choosing cash over startups | TechCrunch
'Since 2013, the iPhone maker shelled out a total of $5.1 billion in disclosed M&A deals, according to Crunchbase data. '
'That’s despite the fact that it is estimated to have more than $260 billion in cash and cash equivalents, including money parked in overseas accounts. '
'So will 2018 be the year when Apple finally goes on a buying binge worthy of its massive cash holdings?'
'The remaining 44 companies that Apple bought for undisclosed sums are primarily early-stage startups. '
'When it comes to buying startups, Apple isn’t really the least acquisitive of the Big Five (which also includes Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook and Google). '
