Apple Looking to License More Movies to Expand Apple TV+ Library

[anthogag]

Where have you been? Do you have Apple TV+?

They have a bunch of original entertainment that they release. The issue is that they want you to keep you coming back between those shows with more than just rentals and purchased shows.

Dark Matter, Presumed Innocent, Sunny, Foundation, Silo, Severance....

Yes, I have Apple TV+. In Apple TV+ I subscribed to other streamers to get more shows.

To keep users in Apple TV+ they could include MLS in the TV+ package.

I've dabbled with TV+ every now and then but there doesn't seem to be much content on it (compared to other streamers). Most of the shows advertised aren't really there at all - you have to pay extra for them. It just seems like a shop.

I also subscribe to netflix, disney and paramount and if you can see it, you can watch it.
Apple need to buy someone out and massively expand their library to compete with those

i love apple tv+ but its going in the wrong direction and can see me sadly binning it.

what i liked about it was two things, a) it was very cheap and b) there wasnt much on it but what there was was excellent tv.

it complimented netflix, netflix was the fast food joint with always something to eat, apple was the fine dining restaurant you only went a few times a month but it was great.

now..... price literally doubled, and yay, america gets lots of films that EU doesnt. but i dont even want them, i want apple to stop spending money on them and keep apple tv+ cost down.

Agreed. At $5/mo it wasn't hard to justify even with limited options. After the initial year, I have relied on free promos a few times yearly to catch up on the shows I enjoy. I recently added AppleOne to my kiddo's phone plan so we all have it now via sharing... I wouldn't do it standalone though.

There’s now a dedicated TV+ tab in the app that shows what’s included with the subscription. The Apple TV app also lets you rent/buy films & buy TV shows from the iTunes Store. You can also link other services (BBC, ITV, Disney+ etc) to the app to make it an all-in-one place to watch content

How do people still not understand this, even after Apple changed the UI of the app? It’s really not difficult.
