I don't know if I agree with that.
Apple is (contrary to some people's belief) a fairly smart company.
Like when they bought Beats Headphones, it not like they totally changed the brand and made it "Apple Headphones". No because they know Beats has its fanbase and they weren't going to mess with the formula.
The main that would change is Nintendo obviously would be making software for Apple hardware and potentially an Apple console.
But beyond that I don't think they'd do anything crazy to the IP themselves, in fact I think they'd probably insist on the same high quality and push for more artistic/bold choices like the new Zelda. Having the Miyazaki of gaming to themselves is likely right up Apple's ally. Their marketing could also drive things like Splatoon to be big hits.
