Hey! This is a brand new series we are trying out: short videos breaking down some data with a bit of context. Let us know what you think about it in terms of content, visuals, etc. We're all ears!

The info is great, but you should really try to explore vertical format, 90s, Shorts, reels, tick tocks, etc. Since IDK if this kind of videos will go well with the all mighty algorithm and your usual content. Maybe create a shorts channel like Marques or Linus? Just an opinion, though. Always loved your insights into the industry :)

I disagree with other commentators about short form. The point of your channel as far as I understand it is to provide insight into complex issues and simplify them. Simplification, ironically, requires time and effort. Short form videos would dumb down the content too much. That said, I think this video hits the right balance between brievity and analysis. I would be okay with this form factor as a viewer IF it meant more frequent posts. If it hurts your regular videos' publication, then I think your regular content is better.

One reason I can think of for Apple's lesser acquisitions as compared to others is that due to its closed ecosystem, it is challenging to accommodate and integrate new companies within. The other reason might be that they don't disclose all their acquisitions.

Polymatter actually made a decent video explaining this, especially its biggest factor: Culture. As someone who does internal comms, its usually not easy to keep everyone involved and accepting to changing from older systems to newer ones. Especially engineers, product developers and programmers.

2006 : Google bought KZread for $1.65 billion. 2021 : KZread generates $1.65 billion revenue in every 3 weeks. 2012 : Facebook bought Instagram for $1 billion 2021 : Instagram's estimated worth $600 billion

The reason why Google spend 12b on Motorola is not only that they needed patent but they also wanted to showcase their software i.e Android since it wasn't that popular in many market's. Taking about India Motorola made a huge impact with g, e series smartphones which actually paved path for their future. Also it's worth noting that Google had clean Android version in moto as compared to samsung which had every single copy of default Google application so ultimately it made people love stock Android which we can see benifited one plus, moto as well as pixel in the future. So I personally think it was a huge success for Google not economically but strategically.

I see a big decline in Android. Using it since 2010, I will switch to an iPhone 14 this Fall. I am fed up with Android. All those bugs and issues with completely different devices I had... I wish there were more phone OS alternatives.

I really liked this video! I hope to get more in this format! Now that acquisitions are trending I would love to see a video in this same format about failed acquisition, like the NVidia/ARM, Microsoft/TikTok and Microsoft/Discord Continue your awesome work!

It is incredibly refreshing to have a series that dives right into the information. Just a few seconds of a splash screen and you're in! No sponsor spot, no dragged out introduction. Fantastic!

I absolutely enjoyed this style. I hope you guys will be able keep this quality up in the next episodes as well. ✌️

Another tech company well known for large acquisitions is Intel. For example, it acquired Mobileye for $15 billion, and Habana Labs for $2 billion. Also Nvidia recently acquired Mellanox for over $7 billion.

My guess would be Tencent? let's see the video . i was wrong ...

Keep in mind these are all public aquisitions, companies like Facebook have silently aquired many companies, and yes, in the US, this is legal.

I mean, technically the term "FANG/FAANG", and most of the acquisitions came before Facebook turned into Meta, so it makes sense to just call them by Facebook, in this context.

atleast, with those gaming acquisitions, their Embrace, Extend & Extinguish practices isn't applicable (or ideal),

What about Samsung?

tbh, Microsoft should buy Splunk. I'd be more than fine with it than Cisco buying Splunk for $20B, jfc.
