Going off topic slightly but...This was exactly my thought. I really enjoy Grand Designs, which is not about showcasing obnoxious rich mansions, but shows the building of fascinatingly and uniquely designed buildings created by all sorts of fascinating characters. If Apple’s programme takes this approach it might be about Apple Park style creations (not necessarily on that scale of course!). I’d be interested to hear more about it.
“This is a complete joke. Watching a bunch of rich celebrities parade around their ostentatious & pretentious garbage.”
How do you know this show is going to be about rich celebrities?

And this show is a copy of that in what way? Of course you can’t answer because you haven’t seen it.
So you’d rather have Apple’s programming be virtue signaling? Who wants to watch that?Glad to see Apple creating socially conscious content that will enlighten people rather than elevating malignant materialism to hold over the unwashed masses as symbolic of their worthlessness.
Now here is a valid argument against this rumored show. How is it going to be different than what’s already on HGTV and DIY.Like damn man. We've aleady got this covered on HGTV 24/7. Who greenlighted this?
Though not currently on set top boxes, video game consoles, smart TVs, BR players, etc., for now Apple Music is almost entirely audio-only - a streaming music service trying to make headway on video platforms doesn't stand much of a chance. How does Spotify do in this arena?
The question is how meaningful of a comparison one can make other than there are some streaming services that have been around for several years and Apple hasn't started theirs yet.
All their latest computers have been bad.What?![]()
It would be silly to compare iTunes with Apple Music if you want to compare music streaming subscription services, one is and one isn't. It's equally meaningless, at this time, to compare Apple Music with Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and Netflix, etc., if one wants to compare video streaming subscription services, since Apple Music is not a video streaming subscription service. It may become one in the future; though more likely is that Apple will create an entire new structure when they are ready with the video content they are assembling.
I'm talking about the business of delivering movies and TV shows to consumer's living rooms via the Internet and Apple started doing that in 2007. Why is that "silly" to talk about? In terms of making Internet delivery of movies and TV shows living room TVs easy and accessible Apple was first to market, but now they are being forced to play catch up because hardware, software and consumer expectations have changed. For example,TV's are largely redundant thanks to the Internet of Things, there are many companies delivering content via the Internet these days (some as all-you-can-eater streamers, others via the sales/rental model), and consumers are now expecting great original content, so just providing a similar catalog of movies/TV shows as everyone else doesn't cut the mustard anymore.
You are splitting hairs with Apple, yet you lump Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, CBS, etc., together even though those services aren't exactly the same either. All these companies are competing in the same space, even if they are doing it in slightly different ways.
For example:
Netflix is an ad-free, subscription only service that primarily offers back catalog movies/TV shows and original first party content.
Apple mainly sells/rents digital downloads of new and old movies and TV shows (and presumably will be releasing a full streaming service w/original content in the not to distant future and possibly a 'skinny bundle' TV service as well).
Amazon Prime Video functions similar to Netflix, but Amazon also has Amazon Video (not Prime) that sells and rents content just like Apple does.
Hulu has both ad-free and ad-supported plans, primarily offers current TV shows from the three media companies that own it, and is creating its own original first party content.
CBS All Access is similar to Hulu, but it only has content from CBS.
The two most similar services are CBS All Access and Hulu, and if we added HBO NOW to the list that would probably be the most similar to Netflix.
I guess so. Just pity the animals she's wasting.So you're telling me that my girlfriend doing Post Doctorate research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York is wasting her time doing cancer research?
