Naaaw, Apple wouldn't be a good fit at all. Firstly, why would they want to enter the gaming market? It's relatively niche, with a potential market cap at 250m, and you're not making much money on HW. Only Nintendo usually makes money off of their HW - which Apple would love, but here's the problem; Apple has the money to make a powerful console, but, a $500 pricing doesn't sit too well with gamers (X1/PS3, erhm), and it wouldn't offer much of a profit at that price anyways. There's also the possibility that Apple tells Nintendo what to do, and Nintendo doesn't roll that way.
No, it's better for Nintendo to scoop up Western devs and/or enter a deal with Disney; make cartoons of Mario and Donkey Kong, and movies of Metroid and Zelda, and in return make Disney games, and maybe add a NintendoLand at their theme parks. Strengthen your brand, Nintendo! Work that image of yours, damnit.

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
