As long as Apple's only bankrolling this and not involved in the production I doubt it takes up many Apple resources.

This just in: Apple has jumped the shark. I repeat, Apple has jumped the shark.
Orgy scene from a company that is known to be super-conservative with all apps involving any sexual content???
What's next, thicker iPhones?

I abhor violence. His act against Dee Brown was reprehensible and he deserved to face punishment. I am no Dr. Dre apologist, however, I do not want to live in a world where a nearly 51-year-old cannot be forgiven for their actions that occurred half their life ago. He did apologize for the incident last year (although somewhat forced due to the pressure from the release of his album and associated movie.) Maybe I am a big sucker, but I am willing to believe that he is sincerely sorry for what happened.
So Apple is going to get into content - and THIS is their first offering? As an aside - have to laugh considering how protective they are of any apps that can display nudity or NSFW content - what was already shot for this

Wow! I've been a raving fan for the last three decades. At my business, due largely to my evangelism of Apple products all 100 people are using Macs. Now I'm really concerned my favorite company is losing it and am finally compelled to say something.
First, quality control is going downhill. What has happened to Apple Mail. The current version is full of bugs. Seems like everyone is going to gmail and dropping their mail client. Gmail is reliable and shows constant improvements and refinements. That's just one example. I could go on about other similar half baked products but those are not what caused me to make this post.
If Apple releases the kind of pathetic "entertainment" content suggested in this article, my unwavering support for Apple products will almost certainly begin to see an intentional end. Apple, you have a history of making products that improve the quality of people's lives. Why not make content that improves peoples lives. If you can't do that, get out of the media business. Just like Apple doesn't try to make cheap run of the mill products in an effort to improve market share, Apple shouldn't produce garbage content to grab a few more eyeballs for it's Apple TV. This whole thing smells of desperation. Tim Cook needs to get back to doing what makes Apple great and shut this thing down. Apple needs to make products that are empowering and improve peoples lives in new and innovative ways.

Didn't this man beat up his wife? I hate thugs.
I guess Tim Cook is promoting diversity.
Perhaps if we're lucky, Apple will decide to make a film about a good Christian man. I won't hold my breath. I guess evil is in these days.

Wow - just wow. And I don't mean that in a good way... Apple is losing the plot. Couldn't they just focus on, oh, I don't know, getting hardware and software to "just work"? That would be cool. Because, in my experience, things haven't "just worked" for a long time....
this won't get me to subscribe to Apple Music.
nor will it get me to subscribe to an Apple Video (or whatever it might be called)
now, perhaps this is just a Music Video or something for Dr. Dre alone and no real connection with Apple.
who knows. This wouldn't be the first or last PING, CUBE, etc.

My faith in Apple, in Tim and in Jony, has been strong since that fateful day in 2011 when Steve passed. Sure there's been missteps, questionable calls and products. Still, I've believed that "Steve's DNA is built into the company."
Until today. Apple is spreading itself way too thin. Jumping into categories with no competitive advantage, simply for parity.
This is no longer Steve's Apple. Not at all.

Not just Eddy. Cook and Williams have to go.
Ugh...could be worse I suppose. Could've been Kanye.
I saw the movie straight out of compton the other night. Not sure how this series would be any different than rehashing what was in that movie. Having said that, I was impressed in the movie by Dre's role. I had no idea he had produced and help launch so many artist. It certainly came off that he and the lyrical ability of Ice Cube were the real power behind NWA.
Let me guess: The audio will only work with crappy Beats headphones via $35 proprietary cable.
Man, I was hoping to not become one of these people but: Tim Cook needs to go.
