Netflix has a lot to worry about. If not due to Apple’s entry, atleast due to Disney’s entry. And remember, BlackBerry did not have much to worry about when the first iPhone was launched. In fact up until 2011, their revenue grew tremendously.That's one tiny lineup. They're really going to struggle to bring people in, especially with Disney's huge range of recognisable franchises.
Netflix have nothing to worry about.
Yes.So does my iPhone 11 pro max from my carrier qualify,
Nov. 1.I wonder when Apple will start offering their free trials to those who purchased a new iPhone ?
One thing missing from Apple since Steve died is the ‘why’. We get the what and the how but we rarely get the why. Why is Apple creating its own content? So they can charge people $5/mo is not an answer. Do Apple execs think there’s a dearth of good video content out there and Apple is best suited to fill that void? Because right now it seems Apple TV+ is nothing more than Apple having more money than execs know what to do with along with hardware sales going flat so execs are looking for any other way they can make money off existing customers. And then add in Wall Street being obsessed with recurring revenue streams aka “services”. To me the whys are all financial which I’m not sure makes a great product.
If the ipod counts then the watch should - weirdNo, this is from About Apple Tv+ from Apple

Notice how they haven't really released Apple TV+ app to anything other than Samsung. You can only watch these shows on an Apple device.
AirPlay 2 requires an Apple device and all the TVs you mention except Samsung don’t have the Apple TV app yet so until it releases, you’re going to need an Apple device. Well except the website but who wants to stream through a browser?You can't watch TV on a Watch.

^ This is a list of TVs that support AirPlay 2 and Apple TV(+). Apple TV+ will also be available on a website. You definitely don't need an Apple device to watch these programmes/films.

I’m actually quite excited for Apple TV+. I think that the wide variety of shows makes it so that there is something for just about everyone. The low price point of $4.99 a month is lower than Netflix and Disney+ and I think that will help Apple out in the long run. Personally, I’m really looking forward to watching ‘The Morning Show,’ ‘See,’ and ‘Truth Be Told.’ The trailers have been pretty promising thus far.
The Morning Show: Three episodes at once then the rest weeklyAnyone know how they’re releasing the episodes? Is it gonna be all at once or weekly, or a few episodes at once then the rest weekly?
Thanks for the info!The Morning Show: Three episodes at once then the rest weekly
Dickinson: 10 (30 mins) episodes all at once
Not sure about the others.
Netflix had nothing to worry about? I think Disney, Hulu, WB, Peacock are making Netflix worry a lot.
That's one tiny lineup. They're really going to struggle to bring people in, especially with Disney's huge range of recognisable franchises.
Netflix have nothing to worry about.
False. Apple will claim that Apple TV+ is a success, with subscribers in the tens of millions, without ever converting a single free user. By giving it away for free and counting it as services revenue, the service never has to succeed for it to succeed. That is as slimy as it gets. That affects the industry. It affects competition. It relieves pressure from Apple to do better than this in the video space.Not exactly. They don't just "make up" $60 out of thin air. It's effectively a discount from hardware and moving it to software, which they've done for years with software and services that come with your iPhone like iOS, Maps. It's accounted for with deferred revenue.
I'm not an accountant, but the free Apple TV+ bundle has already been stated by Apple to have zero impact to earnings.
When you give away free services, you have to account for them. Apple isn't doing anything slimy. They also haven't reported any plans to give a running total of subscribers. I would guess they won't ever do it as it leads you down a bad path like iPhone unit sales. If they can keep it a secret, they likely (and correctly) will.
