Dan Ives Says M&A Is the ‘Missing Piece’ for Apple in AI Arms Race — New CEO John Ternus Could Finally Shake Up Tim Cook’s Playbook Dan Ives, senior managing director at Yorkville Advisors, believes that mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are crucial to Apple's success in the artificial intelligence (AI) arms race.
According to Ives, M&A is the "missing piece" for Apple as it competes with industry leaders like Google and Amazon.
While former CEO Tim Cook was known for his strategic approach, Ives argues that this may have come at the cost of missing out on growth opportunities.
