Could/should Apple (AAPL) buy PayPal (PYPL)??

Disclosure I own stock in both.

PayPals is down big time. They had fair earnings, but may be losing some market share to newer companies. It seems like everyone is trying to get into this market space.

Just thinking off the top of my head, it seems like this would be a good mix. I don't know if you could get regulatory approval for it. Apple has the cash...

Good fit or nutzo??

Can Apple Pay work on the android system??

Apple could go subscription only in a year or two. Many people may not be able keep their IPhones. Yeah, I know...But they may price themselves out of a market. But, if they have a major player in the digital payment network...Synergy??

Who uses PayPal, nobody except eBay participants. Ebay was busy overcharging its customers for years while many nimble players entered the market and provider way better and cheaper services. Just look at Wise

What is PayPal?
PayPal is a method for selling and buying things online and transferring money to friends and family in a convenient and inexpensive way, without requiring that you share financial information. With more than 400 million active account holders around the world, PayPal is a money transfer giant.

Because the service is so ubiquitous, many online merchants and customers know and trust it. Here’s what you need to know about how PayPal works.

PayPal snapshot

Fees:$0 to make a purchase or transfer money domestically using a bank account or your PayPal balance. 2.9% of the amount, plus 30 cents, to transfer funds using a credit card, debit card, or PayPal credit.

Transfer limits: Varies, $4,000-$60,000 per transaction.

User experience: A payments behemoth with a clean website, top-rated mobile apps.

Customer service: Live phone support available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT daily; support via social media and the message center (when logged into your account) also available.

In general (I said "in general" no roasting), it would be like Fidelity or Charles Schwab vs Robinhood. A known quantity vs I hope it works (Gamestop)...

Please no rabbit holes about Robinhood/Gamestop...It was just an analogy.
