Is there a reason why there is just two weeks notice?? Do the attendees not have busy schedules, and can easily clear the date (plus travel days)?? I do not see how giving a few more weeks of notice would compromise anything. Thx.
 
Lots of people do, man. Ideally people want all you can eat subscription with books, movies, news, games, etc but that will take time to find the right revenue model.

I know I'm probably the minority but until a subscription service offers access to all available music/TV shows/movies/whatever then I'd prefer to just pay one off fees for guaranteed access to the ones I want
 
I like what they've done with Beats 1 and the live radio station. I'd love to see on-demand Apple shows and a live station that you can just put on without having to choose something. This would allow Apple to have more timely/live events. Imagine a Netflix competitor that could also do breaking news or special events (like award shows, sporting events, and even Apple events). It also allows for time-based programming like a late night talk show or Saturday morning cartoons. Bring back appointment TV, but with the option of watching at your convenience. It would also be neat to see what they could do with interactivity. Think of the mobile game show HQ where you can play and select answers on a live hosted game and win some money. You could vote on a talent show. Lots of creative ways of watching and taking part.

I wish people would just stop this "Apple can give you this great all you can eat...... etc etc" non-sense.

Does Apple bundle iTunes match and Apple music; that would make sense? Nope, they don't.
Does Apple bundle iCloud back-up and Apple care; that would make sense? Nope, they don't.

Apple have come out and said they want to increase revenue through subcsriptions but those wide-eyed fools still believe Apple are going to go for "bundles".
 
"It's show time" could have been the perfect title for brand new MacBook Pros and iMac (Pros) with refreshed designs and current-gen tech with affordable prices.
I don't think we're gonna see any of it....
For a company the size from Apple you would expect they’re able launching it simultaneously. But as another member here already mentioned, Apple isn’t able to walk and chew gum at the same time :D
 
Hoping for an iPod Mini resurrection. Come on Apple listen to your fans!!!

Oh and SE 2 please with 30 pin connector for my small hands! I will not update to lightning ports!!!!

They’re reporters. Their entire job is to chase news, sometimes at minutes’ notice. 2 weeks notice is a luxury.
 
I can already guarantee you this will be a disappointing offering.

They don’t have enough of their own content and they continually try to drive too hard of a bargain to ever have a compelling channel package, ala YouTubeTV and others.

No but really... Please show this. I doubt it though. My Mid-2010 needs to goooo!

Your comment is the exact reason why they prioritize these other things. If someone is replacing a 9 year old computer, they aren't the frequent repeat buyer that keeps their company afloat. The same thing for people that got "upset" about the Airport thing, but then went on to talk about how they still love the one they bought in 2007 (and still have no intention of actually replacing).

That said, Apple MAY have an opening here, as DirecTV Now just announced that they are raising prices AGAIN by another $10. That's a lot of very angry consumers.
 
Apple is too conservative to succeed in the video streaming industry. They need few brutal and series with sexual scenes. They won’t allow this, and this strict conservative attitude will lead to failure.

Probably. HBO has shown how to do serious but graphic TV shows that get both critical and popular acclaim.

I doubt Apple have the same courage.

I’m hoping for a total hardware resurrection like every serious hardware manufacturer is doing on a yearly bases. No excuses this time. Either you’re in or you’re out of the hardware business but don’t sell years old crap as if it was new :mad:

Wanna transform into a service company? Be sure to play nice with other hardware manufacturers and support it across the board.
