Scott Edwin argues Apple acquiring Instinct for $30 billion would be just 0.6% of its market cap — 'a rounding error' — saving 18–24 months of work and heap of execution risk, or serving as a hedge even if Apple rolls its own. ivanbezdomny adds it's a good product people liked but about to hit a wall, and $30B may be more than needed. Unconfirmed speculation; no official Apple move.
