The rumor that Apple would buy Disney has been around for quite some time.

Bob Iger and Steve Jobs were close, and ever since Disney bought Pixar in 2006, people have been speculating that a merger with Apple could happen. While Iger has said that this is “nothing more than speculation,” we can’t help but wonder what would happen if the two companies did seal the deal.
Disney has undergone quite the change in recent years.

Bob Iger served as CEO for many years before stepping aside suddenly and selecting Bob Chapek as his successor. Chapek’s run at Disney, however, was short-lived. After finding himself in the middle of a number of battles and controversies (from the handling of the Parental Rights in Education Act in Florida to contract disputes with Scarlett Johansson), Chapek was swiftly removed from his position and replaced once again with Iger. But just who is Iger looking to for inspiration now that he’s back? Well, if you are an Iger expert, the answer might not surprise you.
The Walt Disney Company is one of the most watched corporations in the world, and the spotlight has certainly been on it over the past month – as CEO Bob Chapek stepped down, and former CEO Bob Iger was brought in to replace him.

There’s plenty of speculation now about why Chapek was replaced, whether Iger can make a difference, and even who will replace Iger when he retires from the company for a second time.
