Here are nine companies Apple swallowed up in 2018

And a few big ones that continue to get away.

From Wikipedia’s List of mergers and acquisitions by Apple, with an assist from 9to5Mac‘s Chance Miller:

• Silk Labs: “Lightweight” artificial intelligence for cameras
• Silicon Valley Data Science: Ad-related analytics
• Buddy Build: iOS development tools
• Texture: Digital magazine subscription service
• Akonia Holographics: Lenses for augmented reality glasses
• Shazam: Music and image recognition
• Dialog Semiconductor: Power management technology (pending approval)
• Asaii: Music analytics
• Platoon: Early-stage musical artist development

Not purchased:  Netflix, Tesla, Disney or anything even close. Give it rest.
