nit: in the manufacturing and business worlds, two years (let's give benefit of the doubt and presume to assume that "until 2014" is "until 31 Dec 2014") is not enough time to be leisurely. I do suspect, however, with their PA Semi purchase, that Apple is in a good position to know who to buy and how to buy them and it wouldn't be a strenuous search.

All assuming, of course, that Apple is interested in such a purchase.
