According to Jeffrey bewkesCEO TimeWarner Inc. (company dedicated to the digital world, among whose subsidiaries the famous Warner Bros), has confirmed that he does not believe that Apple would seriously value the purchase of his company as a way to enter the market for film and series production.

These statements come after an alleged intention on the part of Eddy Cue, Apple Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, by hinting that Apple you might be thinking of taking part in the audiovisual content production market.

In his own words Bewkes in an interview Bloomberg yesterday:

"I don't think Eddy Cue has any serious intention of doing so", responds to the possibility of an acquisition of Time Warner by Apple.

"We have maintained contact with Apple and other companies because we want to improve the user interface. Therefore, meetings have been held on what each should do, and how they were going to participate in it. It is not more than that. Nobody has talked about mergers and / or acquisitions of anything«

The rumors were echoed after a report that came to light last May where it is indicated that Cue raised the idea during a team meeting, in which he was Olaf Olafson, director of corporate strategy for Time Warner.

This purchase already discarded would have incorporated into the Apple brand a wide range of channels and film studios, including the CNN, HBO and Warner Bros, in addition to the occasional streaming service. The utopian acquisition would bring the additional problem that Apple would have to deal with an industry with which it is unfamiliar and which is highly competitive, with a wide variety of cable and satellite providers, which it is probably preferable to avoid.

Time Warner G.O.T.

If these actions had been carried out, series as media as Game of Thrones and movies of great renown and blockbuster would have a smaller audience, by belittling both platform users Android as Windows.
