Apple confirms aquisition of Beats by dre

[Warcony]

Sigh, Steve Jobs would never of purchased beats, he knew what good audio meant and respected it.

[Aphexx]

apple already acquired a former Burberry executive I think with their new acqui-hires they're going to further their tech fashion lines

 

integration into their rumored apple watches? or apple home goods? or would Jimmy Iovine help apple score deals to further their apple TV deals 

[matin94]

apples audience is exactly what beats audience was. this will work out for apple because most of them, dunno what good and bad is so.

[applebook]

Apple just went full R-tard.

 

I thought that they were smarter than this.

 

Beats is the epitome of low quality junk that sounds like mud, only for the misinformed who don't know better.

Except every Apple user uses PCs, and most of them are familiar with Android. I can't say the same about the average PC fanboy who's not touched a Mac or an Apple product outside of Best Buy.

i have a mac book pro, i had the iphone 4s. if you mean im the average pc fan boy, you are wrong. from what i know, from the people i work with at work. my friends and family, they dont know a damn thing about apple and their products, but say, "omg this is apple. BUY"

and who ever buys beats headphones, gets it to either show off or say yeah, i got expensive headphones.

I’ve always known in my heart that Beats belonged with Apple

-Jimmy Iovine

Me too Jimmy... Beats really belong with Apple. They are perfect for each other.

HTC bought a 50.1% stake in Beats back in 2011 for 300 million which also saw a move to Beats branded audio in their flagship phones. The HTC One X has that integration and it followed on to the HTC One (m7). The only reason it was 'stripped out' was because HTC needed to raise capital, and had to sell their shares back to Beats.

 

Ironically, if they'd held on to their 50% stake a bit longer, they could've just earned 1.5 Billion. I'm sure HTC are kicking themselves.

Thanks for the stats! I bet their definitely kicking themselves over that One *no pun intended*

HTC owned beats mobile not beats.

Please elaborate. Cause as far as I can see. They bought a 50.1% stake in Beats electronics. There's not even a subsidiary called beats mobile. So I'm really confused about what you are saying.

smart move by apple, always will be people who buy the most hyped up piece of junk :rolleyes:

Matin, you're not an average PC fanboy. The average PC fanboy wouldn't ever buy an iPhone or even a Mac.

THANK YOU! some reason that other guy thinks anyone talking shit about apple is a PC fanboy, when i was trying to make my point from my point of view.
