Live Apple Event Coverage: 'It's Show Time' [Keynote Ended]

[pavelbure]

Isn’t this crap already there ? What’s new about this ?

 

[icrude]

Until their stock tanks this new stuff will never end.

 

[BeefCake 15]

Where is the Apple original shows!

 

[rhyx]

$10.99 per month for Showtime. Spoiler from the "Free Trial" screen.

 

[maylen]

her voice is so annoying, did they bring her straight out of the sorority house?

 

[nameischarles]

Was that Joel Kinnaman in the crowd?

 

[NMBob]

Didn't see Bugs Bunny in the kids section. Maybe I just missed it.

 

[BuddyTronic]

I would pay anything if there is proper access to 1970’s Sesame Street episodes!

Give parents an alternative to the horrible YouTube kids show experience!

Serious question, how is this different from the current Apple TV app?

I guess now we have to pay for it? I don't know. I'm so confused.

 

[eatrains]

Yep, Apple Computer Inc. doesn't exist

Correct, not since Steve changed it to Apple Inc twelve years ago.

I'm really not understanding why the appleTV app exists. What problem is it trying to solve? All these features already exist. Unless you subscribe to so many services you can't even keep track of them, what is the draw of viewing through Apple's app?

Like she said said she wants to watch the new so-and-so show. How does the appleTV make that easier than not having the appleTV app?

I like the Apple TV app. It pulls the new episode from the shows I watch and makes it easy to start playing it without having to use the channel app.

 

[Jeezeypeeps]

Is anyone really interested in what this presenter's favorite TV shows are?

She has a 5-year-old kid too though. So that's interesting.

 

[nviz22]

Yawn... Why should I own an iPhone just to subscribe to Apple News +, Apple Arcade, Apple's streaming services w/ the TV App, and get an Apple Card?

 

[HiRez]

Subscribe by the channel (not bundles) is interesting, but the pricing will be the key. Channel selection seems very limited though, looks like a lot of companies launching their own streaming services (almost everyone) may not be a part of it.

 

[alexandr]

can i finally have a tv from apple?

 

[9081094]

Goodbye AppleTV hello AppleTV

 

[Rogifan]

Apple TV app coming to smart TVs...including Roku and Amazon.

 

[applepie2100]

These people are terrible speakers. Sounds like they're reading off a cue card. Nothing natural about their delivery at all.

And to think that we used to complain about Phil Schiller!

 

[Dorje Sylas]

There it is, AppleTV (the hardware) is dead-ending.

 

[ipedro]

I guess the the TV subscription service is going to be called tv+

 

[alexandr]

so will we still need the apple tv hardware?

 

[derek]

Wow, an actual Mac announcement: TV app. Thank you master! Thank you! *grovel*grovel*

 

[macduke]

Does the TV app coming to the Mac mean HDR will work properly? It seems like iTunes had issues.

Another article wrote that WSJ business/financial articles would be de-prioritized, reads as if they are not giving full access.

Yeah, I saw that in the WSJ article yesterday. Kind of confusing. It said the business/finance articles would be de-emphasized while the WSJ hired new reporters to focus on general/political/lifestyle news that would headline the Apple News content. The real question is what "de-emphasized" means. If it means locked up behind an individual paywall then this service will be substantially less relevant to my needs. I don't need more clickbait articles about politics or the Kardashians.

Since the WSJ is participating in AppleNews+ I expect to see some more details directly from them shortly.
