That's not my logic. Macrumors is not related to my iPhone/computer/internet service price. The next time Im buying an iPhone I will be paying the bill Apple has to cover the costs related to supporting Apple TV+.
Got a tip for us?

Hey, no bad feeling mate...just discussing here peacefully. Good day to you too.
I heard the real version of this song on the radio the other day.
Bongo Cat - bad moew 🎧 - YouTube
I have to say, I like the Bongo Cat version better.
I mean, 22 million YouTube views CAN'T be wrong, and the way the eyes of the rubber chickens get blood shot when the cat bangs the chicken is GOLD.
But, if it brings in subs for Apple, that's what it's really about. I'm sure there's plenty of people who think "For All Mankind" is populist tripe, but I wait for it every Friday.
And for all you pushing 40 folks who think you're old? I'm pushing 50.
Us Gen X'ers are old, pissed, and broke....

i give her till next year. (and for the critics, i'm in my 20's and into new music). her sound was interesting for a short time but grows timesome quickly. the Interrupters' cover of Bay Guy was better than the original.
You may have missed my original post, the one where I said her voice is great better than others, her music is terrible lol
Some people think Greta Thunberg deserves a Nobel Prize. 🤷♂️
Apple didn't divulge any figures, but "industry sources" told gossip website Deadline.. Oh yeah that sounds totally legit. When you want accurate details trust the pandering access media portal with such ground breaking news as WTF Harry & Meghan are up to. Seriously Apple is the ONLY source so it's really industry speculators i.e hear-saying clickbaiters aka BULL$HIT ARTISTS!
Big fan of Billie's music but I couldn't watch more than 20 minutes. One of the most self indulgent pieces I've seen, the first 20 minutes could've been covered in 5 minutes. She comes across a bit of a brat, maybe that's what 15 y/o fame does to you...God help me if I'd have been on camera at that age 
Agreed. I’m too old for Blackpink but at least they have the whole Korean band angle. Billie Eilish is just another angsty emo teen.
Yeah I mean look at what happened to Britney, the media ruined her. Hell, even the British media had a roll in Princess Diana’s death. These people lose any right to privacy, and I disagree with the “well this is the life they signed up for” notion, there needs to be boundaries. I worry about these young celebrities sometimes.
My wife and I enjoyed the show. Definitely not in the target audience. Our take on AppleTV +, quality programming vs quantity. Definitely a keeper for us.
Reactions to these types of articles are always hilarious with people letting their hate towards something known, as if anyone gives a ****!? Doesn't make much sense to me... If I don't like something, I typically don't read articles about it.
Do I like her music? Eh, it's ok. But I do think she's a good singer and songwriter - just not what I normally listen to.

Well, I haven't seen hate. Hate is a very strong word. I'd say that most comments are puzzled about Apple's move. If something is made public, then it certainly can be (respectfully) criticized.
I personally have no interest in the documentary, and yes, I listened to her music (not for me). Now, I wish her all success in the world, and I wish that she can manage this success, especially considered that she has a history of depression.
She's great, her brother is a musical genious helping her career!
Since she's accomplished so much ... the eventual and inevitable fall from grace will be big. I'm not looking forward to that.
To be fair, her version does have over a billion views. But the Bongo version is also catchy!
I'm 53. I think she's a talented performer who just happens to drink a tall glass of milk before she sings every song.
My intention later today is to tie an onion to my belt, as it was the style at the time.
Do you happen to have five bumblebees for a quarter? I want to take the ferry to Shelbyville....
What does that even mean? granted I'm 10yrs your junior I don't think I would've missed the reference so easily - though right now I'm sure I did.
I remember a few years ago, there were people who were talking up the group Animal Collective as being one of the best alternative artists out there. I tried listening to their album and I was like "What the heck is this". It sounded like if you wanted to get high on weed, AC would be a great band to listen to, mainly because of their psychadelic nature. I feel the same way about Billie Eilish. I don't get the popularity with her, but then again I'm not as "hip" to the music scene now as I was back in the 90s or early 2000s. I listened to her singing the theme for the new Bond film and my thought was it was just ok. I listened to her other stuff and she came across as someone who just mumbled the words thinking it was music.
More power to people who like her but I don't understand it.
