On competition, he said Apple can compete with companies like Netflix, Amazon, and Spotify but "still be together" because all of those services are on Apple's platform. Cue says Apple's platform will win if the company gives customers the best way to pay for and access content, even content coming from direct competitors.
I think you know what he means. I'll elaborate.
Me: "Play ESPN Radio".
Siri: "Sorry Matt I cannot find station ESPN Radio".
I do the same thing 3 times and it finally works:
Siri: "Playing ESPN Sports and News Radio".
Siri is pretty terrible. Even simple things like reminders and calendar events are 50/50. It is easier to just not use her/it.
I think that the ultimate solution is not streaming a channel like they do through cable. I think the solution is probably closer to Netflix, where a season or movie is released and you can watch it whenever you want. There will really be two options I think. One is to make the subscription high enough to support the content on it's own, or make the subscription lower, but place ads with the shows/movies to subsidise the cost.Finally. Cue making some sense.
Would love for the television monopoly to be broken up but not at the expense of a dozen $12/mo each subscriptions to get the channels I want.
Streaming is the reality. The sooner providers embrace it, the better off we all will be.
Siri is pretty brain dead... It still amazes me when she writes exactly what you say, but then says she doesn't understand. Me, "Play Guns and Roses." Siri, "Sorry, I don't understand play Guns and Roses."
It's not that bad. Just slow to navigate and a little clumsy for searching. But it does the job.
