Q:IS there a possibility of Apple buying WebOS along with Jon Rubinstein and uses WebOS for the Low cost iPhone??

amnuts

I’d say no, there is no chance of this happening. 

First of all, Apple doesn’t need webOS. If they make a low-cost iPhone, it will run iOS, just like every other iPhone.

Yes, Rubinstein used to work for Apple and was one of Jobs’ closest generals for a while (he also worked for NeXT). But in recent years his actions with Palm and then HP have probably only pissed off Jobs. Now that Jobs has stepped down as CEO, I supposed Rubinstein could be a good candidate to take the COO reins from Tim Cook — but I’m not sure he’ll give them up in his new role.

Apple is now a completely different company from when Rubinstein left. For example, there was no iPhone, now the company’s key product.
