Solid phones and computers which are grossly overpriced and tend to limit your ability to customize them and require proprietary accessories to accomplish functions that have been performed by inexpensive accessories for decades*

The problem with that is for a sale to work both parties need to agree. I'd wager a lot of businesses don't want to sell so buying those companies wouldn't be a option.

Not really-

Apple didn't publish a cartoon where Mickey Mouse defends Minnie from the "n-word" tribe that dresses like offensive stereotype savage w a spear.

So yeah/ Disney should shut down all non marvel aspects of their operations.

You do realize you can look up companies' assets rather than speculating like that, right?

I honestly don't believe that Apple is more popular and powerful than Disney by any subjective measure, let alone an objective one. It may have more revenue, but it hasn't used that to build an empire.

...what? First off, what "many" people think doesn't mean shit. Second, Apple is the TENTH largest company by revenue. They're not even the largest phone company by revenue since that honor goes to Samsung.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_companies_by_revenue#

And, in general, they're less powerful than Microsoft because Microsoft is more widely used among computers and also because Microsoft has had a stake in the news in the past through MSNBC.

Oh, I forgot how millions of children beg to go to Appleland and Apple World each year, and how excited they are to have fun at Appleland and Apple World. Oh wait, that doesn't happen.

Apple is absolutely not more popular than Disney.

and yet people are talking about the potential of apple buying out disney and gaining access to all that they hold

Apple Has More Money than disney money that they gained through years of experience selling overpriced tech gadgets to consumers

how often does a Less Popular Company buy out a more popular succesful company?

IIRC, aren't Apple share values the highest of any company in the world? I don't know much about finance, but I feel like that's a significant thing to lead in. However, it's not the only thing that indicates success or popularity and there are many things which they aren't #1 in. But I think maybe that's where NMB is getting his ideas about Apple from

There are plenty of companies which could conceivably buy Disney, but Disney would never fucking sell. And there are several companies which could buy Apple, but Apple probably won't ever sell.

First off, it's not even close to being true:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-17/the-world-s-priciest-stocks-can-t-be-found-anywhere-near-omaha

However, if it were somehow true, it's pretty much insignificant given the nature of how stocks work.
