The Verge is reporting that Apple is reportedly looking to acquire Israeli fabless semiconductor company Primesense. According to local newspaper Calcalist, Apple has offered $280 million to buy the 3D sensor specialist following discussions over the embedding of its technology inside Apple products. In the past, Primsense worked with Microsoft to include its technology, chips, and designs inside the first Kinect accessory for the Xbox 360.

Primesense's 3D-scanning technology is used in more than 20 million devices around the world, including sensors that can be used in both smartphones and tablets.
