And they can't switch to a TSMC chip, they can't get a phone that won't bend, they can't get the cheapest iMac with an SSD, they can't get more than 16GB in the cheapest iPhone, they can't get a 1080p screen in a 4.7" iPhone...but they can't go back to previous iOS since they didn't buy the iOS
Buy whatever I want?
32GB iPhone please thank you.
Apple was founded, has it's headquarters, and is run out of the USA. So yes, Apple is going to use it's home market to launch all new products and ideas.To bad when he says this he only means American users. People from any other country (thats right America isn't the only country in the world), have no legitimate or easy way to access content, and even when we do it is outrageously expensive. Please could they just support other countries for once.
Apple executive Eddy Cue sat down with CNN senior correspondent Brian Stelter last week for a two-part interview about the new Apple TV, describing the fourth-generation device as an "add-on for most people," since content providers such as ABC, CNN and WatchESPN still require authenticating with a cable or satellite TV subscription.
Eddy Cue's interview with CNNMoney about the new Apple TV last week
CNNMoney has now shared a few additional comments Cue made about Apple's rumored streaming TV service. Specifically, Cue said the new Apple TV could support whole cable packages from content providers such as Comcast, but he refused to elaborate much further, beyond alluding that Apple wants customers to be "able to buy whatever they want, however they want."Apple's rumored streaming TV service is expected to deliver a lightweight package of about 25 channels for around $40 per month, anchored by popular networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX, and could launch in 2016 following multiple delays in negotiations between Apple and content providers.
The new Apple TV launched last Friday and features an App Store, Siri, tvOS and more.

The only think keep Amazon getting on Apple TV is Jeff Bezo's ego.I agree. People should be able to buy what they want when they want...now can they give us an Amazon app?
That and the way commercials are sold to advertisers is not per channel but per profile. One of the reasons why you see so many derivative channels of one brand, for example the half dozen discovery channels, is it increases ad revenue. This is the primary reason why cable TV is sold in packages -- they match the ad sales demographics. Going a la cart breaks these demographics.I suspect it's much less the laws of other countries than it is the distribution contracts that have been previously negotiated. In the US alone, it's exceedingly difficult to offer sngle channels, or small packages, because of existing deals between the content producers and the cable networks. Multiply that by dozens of countries and it's near impossible.
And they can't switch to a TSMC chip, they can't get a phone that won't bend, they can't get the cheapest iMac with an SSD, they can't get more than 16GB in the cheapest iPhone, they can't get a 1080p screen in a 4.7" iPhone...
Just thought I'd help you pile on entirely unrelated complaints to the subject of the article. Feel free to add more if you come up with them!
Cue was talking specifically in the context of TV meaning Apple wants TV users to be able to subscribe to whatever streaming service or content they want rather than forcing them into some Apple branded subscription service.To Quote:

Another one of thousands of examples of Apples Love Of Hypocrisy. They say one thing and do another, its laughable how they lie. One minute they want us to believe this. The next minute they are dictating what limited models they will make. Long time iPhone customers loved the small iPhones. Yet Apple killed them off in favor of taking away choices.
Oops... it must have hit a nerve when they kept reading about how many people still want them, even though these same people were very vocal and told Apple not to stop building the small phones. Now the latest rumor being they are bringing the tiny iPhones back. Almost appears like stubbornness then indecision, then they send one of their celebrated stars out to pump up the volume. Apple... what a company![]()
What do people not get about this? There is a gosh-darn SDK. If a content provider (such as Amazon) wants to make an app for the AppleTV, they are more than welcome. Nothing is stopping them.
I would imagine that alot of the problem here is that Apple takes a cut of all in-app purchases. That probably is not motivating Amazon very much.
You're saying the reason Amazon is on Roku but not AppleTV is Amazon's choice? That seems odd but ok. I'd have a new apple tv by now if Amazon was on it.That, sir, is entirely up to Amazon.
You left out the anti-gravity feature that floats my iPhone to the ground like a feather in case it is dropped. Been waiting on that for a while.And they can't switch to a TSMC chip, they can't get a phone that won't bend, they can't get the cheapest iMac with an SSD, they can't get more than 16GB in the cheapest iPhone, they can't get a 1080p screen in a 4.7" iPhone...

In my case as I prefer to watch on-demand any show, and currently many of those I can get with Hulu.Why would I pay $40 a month for basic channels?? I paid $50 for my HD antenna and get all those channels with no monthly bill. They need to step up their game if they want to break into the TV industry.
Good Luck
Hypocrisy. Its very relevant to this article.

Oh yes, I do realize in what context he was speaking.Cue was talking specifically in the context of TV meaning Apple wants TV users to be able to subscribe to whatever streaming service or content they want rather than forcing them into some Apple branded subscription service.
That's a good question! I don't know why you, in particular, in your current location, with access to ALL the channels you personally want via an HD antenna that you own and which can pick up good signal for all the channels you want, would pay $40 a month for those very same channels. It's a total mystery for you and people exactly like you.
But you're getting 64 "for the price of 32"........Buy whatever I want?
32GB iPhone please thank you.
I'm pretty much referring to their pricing models.Really? You embarrass other Europeans.
There's no way to compare European TV to American TV. They have so much better TV series.
