Apple Reportedly Renews 'For All Mankind' and Other Apple TV+ Shows for Second Seasons

Normally that wont happen because people want the customers apple has.

That is completely my point, thanks for agreeing with me. Apple now is a much different company than it was back when Mac sales were driving the company. There isn't a single company dumb enough to remove their money making apps from the iPhone. You're making an apples to oranges comparison.

If you think a company will enter a new market like smartphones just to remove their app from iPhones, I have no clue what to tell you. We saw what happened when the world's biggest retailer tried to enter the smartphone race.

I noticed Jennifer Aniston is on Instagram now. Supposedly her first post (a selfie with the rest of the Friends cast) broke the internet as they say. She’s already got 12M followers. It seems so fake though. I doubt Aniston just decided now to join Instagram. But now that she’s on it she can show clips of her new show and her and Reese Witherspoon can have back and forths tagging each other about the show. No doubt Apple’s TV marketing team had something to do with this. I’d be curious to know how many of these Instagram posts are coming from her or some PR person that works for her.

it’s kind of defensive. Right now Apple doesn’t have a tv service so Apple customers rely on third party parties.

that means that Netflix, Disney, amazon etc.. have a hold over Apple in some way. If Netflix or HBO or some other company decides they want to withhold there service from Apple devices for whatever reason that’s going to effect sales of Apple devices.

Apple can’t battle these services in terms of content, they are too big. What they can do is a) produce their own exclusive content so they have some bargaining chips. If they have some popular shows that the public like it provides bargaining power with studios who might not want to offer there content on Apple devices.
b) if Disney or Amazon ever decides to withold tv services from Apple their customers have at least something to use that is reasonable.
c) in the long run owning some tv shows can be big business (game of thrones, friends etc..)

ultimately Apple don’t like relying on third parties for anything. Look at their plays over the years. It doesn’t even matter if they don’t make much money sometimes. As long as their customers have access to all computing functions at some level that allows them to sell phones with exclusive operating systems that don’t have a lot of market share.

Ah, well, you know, Apple could also just stick to their original core business and build great computers instead of trying to become a gas station. It's not like computers are going away any time soon, if ever. Consumers will always need a device on which they can, well, CONSUME.

kind of hard to sell computers if the best software and content can’t be played on it. That’s where they were with the mac 20 yrs ago. Once bitten, twice shy!
