Disney's CEO Bob Iger's plans to sell its linear TV assets and seek partners for ESPN have reignited speculation of a potential deal with Apple. Apple, with a market cap of $2.8 trillion and $62 billion in cash, could afford to acquire parts of Disney. However, Apple's culture of avoiding big deals and potential regulatory scrutiny could be obstacles. Disney's ESPN, which is planning to launch a streaming version, could be of interest to Apple, which has been expanding its live sports offerings on AppleTV+. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives estimates that acquiring ESPN could cost Apple close to $50 billion.
