USA Today - "As many expected, Robert Iger will stay on a while longer as Disney's CEO and Chairman. The Walt Disney Company board said Thursday that it had extended Iger's contract to July 2, 2019.
"The board cited Iger's 'outstanding leadership, his record of success in a changing media landscape, and his clear strategic vision for Disney’s future.'

Guy keeps saying he's going to leave then doesn't. He'd make it well in politics.

@lubjab2004 - I think you are missing the point. The articles that started ramping up recently (03/24/17) are not really rumors. They are not claiming to have inside information indicating that this alliance is actually in the mix. These are not predictions. Rather, the writers are evaluating whether or not Apple and Disney would be a good fit.
And, to be sure, the two companies already have strong ties.
So ...
