It’s beyond belief that Apple won’t release the price for the streaming service as Disney Plus is about to launch
Reality is, Apple will make this work if they want to play the long game. The hardest part of content is having enough money to buy it, create it, or license it. Apple has plenty of money to do all 3.
all apple videos are like that on youtube.Always a good sign if the comment section is locked
And that's the problem they have now. They will slowly bleed licensed content until they have to stand on their own. A majority of the watched NFLX hours are rumored to be licensed content (duh) because the quality original Netflix content is sparse.The difference between when Netflix came up and now is that there was content out there to license. All that content is moving back to the owners streaming services now. If Netflix came out today it would never have reached the same level of usage because it could not be built on the back of licensing all the popular content like Lost, Friends, and The Office.
Having spent 45 minutes looking for something decent on Netflix last night, I am starting to question what the heck they really have that's any good, particularly as they start to lose licensed content like the Office. Netflix has like 3-4 good original shows and tons of garbage.
Disney's content is lightyears (pun intended) ahead and I'd be absolutely terrified as a NFLX shareholder long term. All these companies are going to get their own service and you need owned content and tons of money. Netflix doesn't have a ton of money.
The Newsroom would like a word with you.This looks pretty awful. Don’t mind the actors but a news drama?
Not when everyone is keeping their content for their own streaming services.Netflix didn't rely on exclusive content for years and years. I think people are forgetting that Apple can just license content to fill in the gaps, and boy do they have the money for it.
Because it's a teaser. It's not trailer. Teasers are cut to build intrigue/mystique, they don't usually give much away. Furthermore, Steve Carell and Jennifer Aniston's voices are pretty unmistakable in this. And that's not even mentioning that technically their faces are indeed in the teaser.Why cut a promo for a series without showing the faces of any of the stars, each of whom was reportedly paid $1M per episode?
Who owns more quality content than Disney? Disney's library of content is unmatched.Pleas Disney doesn’t have a single original idea. Only so long they can remake their old films and sooner or later the Superhero movies will get old.
And whining about it cost you another 30.I always thought a trailer was supposed to be edited specifically to really engage the viewer and make them go "oh that looks great, when is it on?..." Guess nobody told Apple.
69 seconds of my life I won't get back.
You must have a lot of stuff if you'd rather steal instead of paying for things you don't want.I admire the naiveness of Tim Cook and Apple execs; to consider they can compete with Disney (incl. The Simpsons, Marvel MCU, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, Disney Classics, Hulu and ESPN) and with Netflix.
If Netflix, who has been the key player and an established one, should be shaking that Disney+ is coming; I don't get Apple's move.
No way I'm paying a streaming service for a series I can download on Pirate Bay

Leaving aside the Channel BT discussion, I think you are broadly correct. Rather than be concentrating on being the best platform to watch content from any streaming service, Apple has decided to compete with them. This is the brain dead sort of **** that the MBA types running cell phone carriers have tried on, forgetting they are essentially big dumb pipes. Well Apple isn’t dumb, but it got where it is today by selling a perfect marriage of OS and hardware. You make content from stuff you bought from Apple, buying the content from them too may not end well if the real content providers tell them the get lost, like Netflix is starting to find out.I admire the naiveness of Tim Cook and Apple execs; to consider they can compete with Disney (incl. The Simpsons, Marvel MCU, Star Wars, Mickey Mouse, Disney Classics, Hulu and ESPN) and with Netflix.

Disney and Apple TV + aren't ready and should wait another full year when they have enough content to justify launching. Disney Plus is launching with just one show and a few Marvel movies. Apple TV is launching with just a few series. This is ridiculous. I appreciate Warner for waiting until next year to launch HBOMax. What's the big rush to launch this stuff this year when neither service has enough content to justify it. And at least HBOMax will have DCUniverse, CW, WBTV and HBO Backlog stuff to tide people over. Disney isn't even going to give us their full backlog right away.
