And Apple again buys another analytics company, Acunu

It's no surprise that Apple makes acquisitions from time to time or very frequently; what we do want to know is the objective of the acquisition or how users will benefit from integrating the activities of these companies acquired by Apple into Apple 's services.

Apple's recent acquisitions this year include Semetric , a music analytics startup , and, a few days ago, FoundationDB . Now the company has acquired Acunu, a London-based firm that monitors and provides analytics data.

The acquisition of this company was already anticipated, as Apple had begun moving Acunu staff to Apple a couple of years ago, including its founding CEO . Another executive from this firm now works as an iCloud manager in San Francisco, according to his LinkedIn profile.

As always, Apple is keeping quiet about the details, but this acquisition would bring the total number of companies Apple has acquired since 1988 to 65. However, it's possible that the data generated by Acunu could be used to provide information about other Apple services or be related to the recent acquisition of FoundationDB . Anything is possible.
