Everything what Apple does since 2012 isn't with "You" in mind. But there are exceptions like youIt’s a press event so Apple can better communicate their intent to the press with their own context, not a “You” event.
Apple have one thing in their corner on this the close ties between Apple and Disney, especially since the deal between Disney and 20th Century Fox. Whilst not everyones cup of tea, if Disney do not renew current deals with Nextflix/Amazon on content and make them Apple/Disney Exclusive there is a bucket load of stuff people will no longer be able to watch.
The price will also be interesting, will have to be inline with the competition if it's more expensive, no amount of exclusive content will save it. Would guess it'll follow in the ranges of Netflix for the different features you get at different price bands.
I feel like we'll see an updated iPad 9.7 along this as well, to use the new subscription service especially the news papers.
Uh, what non-flop service do you run with over 50 million paying customers?It'll be a flop like Apple Music.
It will be interesting to see if Apple makes any kind of significant subscriber splash in this market. I am guessing membership will be more than Huilu and Netflix.
I was speaking of the cost, not the number of people.You honestly think membership will be greater than Netflix? Not even close.

Netflix has other problems on their hands. Sustainability being one of them.
The streaming wars are only just beginning, especially with new entrants like Apple and Disney who don’t need it to be profitable.
I wouldn’t be so quick as to declare Netflix as the undisputed champ and write off all other competitors just yet.
Shocker.
This will not happen.
Disney starts their own service this year and already explained that it will include their full catalogue plus newly developed shows, plusit will be cheaper than Netflix because the content is Disney stuff only.
No other streaming service will have Disney content, only the digital purchase of Movies will be left. But most people will buy their movie on Amazon, so that they can watch it on TV, as there almost no TV who does not have the Amazon or Netflix App included.
To watch Apple content on your tv you need this very expensive box, what makes Apple a nogo for the most streaming customers.
I see very limited chances for Apples streaming ambitions. Their sucess with apple music is because it works in every phone. Apple movies works on nearly no TV, and not on Android.
Me personally is really bored by the idea of yet another streaming service. I have Amazon Prime and there is always a movie i haven’t seen and every couple of months a new season of a show. I don’t even have Netflix anymore, because inhave enough to watch on Amazon.
Plus that i can buy Movies or shows on Amazon in the most convenient way for cheap, because they often have specials where you get the movie plus bonus content cheaper than the bluray.
Apple streaming? For what?
Apple TV would be a huge welcome addition, hopefully!I think so too. Updated iPad and AppleTV will be the hardware announcements at this event.
AirPower, wireless AirPods case are due too but aren’t related to the theme of the event so will be announced in a press release after the event.
Hey, they try to tackle Netflix, which has almost 200 supported countries ; )It may be their own productions, but they still need to comply with local laws and regulations. Moreover, it's obviously a larger investment of time and resources to server 100 countries than one.
If Apple rolled out to 100 countries, the first thing people would say on any minor glitch is why didn't Apple focus on one territory first.
