Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Man in the High Castle, The Expanse, Jack Ryan? Yeah none of that is “unwatchable.”
Disney owns a lot of great content. I wouldn’t be worried if I were a Disney either, but Netflix owns almost zero great content. They burn cash trying to create it and license most of it.
Disney owns more quality content than any single entity. Domination.
Apple can buy anything they want, including all of Disney...which could be scary. It won’t happen...I don’t think.
But Netflix should be worried for sure. Disney and Apple could hurt them...a lot.
Media services are going to be great on:
1. Apple TV. Although they may largely continue to otherwise ignore that platform.
2. iPhone. Headache included.
3. Mac. Until the keyboard fails and it goes into a kernel panic. Oh wait, no tv supported there anyway. Moving along.
4. iPad. That’ll be great. Until my hands fall off.
5. Mac Pro. Just kidding.

Jack Ryan: I think Jack Ryan showed up for maybe 10 minutes total in that thing. I found it pretty tedious, having read all the books and seen all the movies. But I like the rest of your list

Yeah, far better to just fully cede services to other companies when you already have a huge head start, billions of installed devices, users with accounts and credit cards filed, deep integration across common daily activities. Why would any company leverage such assets? They’d be utterly stupid to do so.

If by first 4 you're including Canada, then, no, it's not here yet. Might be tomorrow, based on the Rumors, but so far, we're void of Apple News just like the rest of the world.
I'd be highly surprised if it comes to Canada. Our local laws mandate a minimum of content has to be "Canadian Made", so even if Apple wanted to give it away for free, they couldn't here unless they've been somehow producing Canadian content. Most streaming services aren't able to launch here because of that restriction. Even the ones that have launched (like Netflix) can only provide a small portion of what the US gets because they need to maintain the "Canadian Made" ratio.
It's not as simple as Apple buying Disney. The culture of Apple will certainly clash with Disney. I don't think Disney really cares about Apple products as much as they care about the rest of the world.
Oh wow, I just realized I made a genius appointment for 11:30 am tomorrow and forgot about the event. I better hurry back
I definitely plan to try out Apple's streaming service if they offer original content that I'm interested in. I've been a previous subscriber to Netflix/Hulu/Showtime because of their original programming and currently have Amazon Prime because of that very fact (e.g. Bosch & The Man in the High Castle). I'm really curious to see the quality of original content Apple has produced with their purported "intrusive" input into the production process.
On a side note, I don't think Jobs would have tried to inject himself or his team into the content production process. I do wonder if Cook is beginning to get an over-inflated view of himself due to his obvious mastery of logistics/production which has resulted in record profits for the company. I do wish that Apple had Elon Musk at the helm to provide the creative direction with Cook as an overseer to manage the business side of the company.

A genius should have known that already.Oh wow, I just realized I made a genius appointment for 11:30 am tomorrow and forgot about the event. I better hurry back
Just sayin’ lol
Good point about Apple testing a constant stream
There were some US shows in the list too
Oh my God, I have forgotten to mention BlackAdder. I am so going to get grilled for this

the words to be spoken
and
hands to be clapped
Can anybody deny my expectations?
That were IBM and later Microsoft -- in the 20th century. Except for the small companies and startuos that Apple has destroyed, name a big company that has "fallen" after Apple has entered an industry. (I know, I know: Nokia. But cell phones were only a fraction of their business.)
