I doubt MQA plays into the deal. I think that the phone wars are picking up and Apple needs to defend its business. If Apple can lock in the urban market, it's good news for them. Apple already purchased Beats, which says it all about their focus on high Rez,...

With Apple poised to jettison the 3.5mm headphone plug, they need all the juice they can, to get people to make the switch.

Apple has proven to have very little creativity of late. So I just don't see them purchasing Tidal for the mqa/ hirez.
