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

[cmiller4642]

So the face of their streaming service is a director who thinks that movies from streaming services shouldn't be considered for awards?

 

[Greymacuser]

Is this an early April Fool's prank?
This has to be a prank.

FireTV is bad but Roku is great! Nothing comes close to the versatility of Roku and how well the interface works. I have had a apple TV and tried a fire and chrome cast. Roku is all I use now and have them on all my TVs.

Except that Roku is incredibly slow and full of ads.

Wow, who'd have thunk movie making is so damn important in the world. This is life or death.

you should try escapism once in a while

This is going to be more than $9.99 or £9.99 a month. Would guess at least double.

Unknown content with a small library costing more than Netflix running on less devices? Yeah, that would make sense. Anything more than $9.99 would be dead on arrival. As it stands, none of this Apple TV+ content will come close to the viewing numbers of Netflix. It will take years to build that kind of brand. They have to rely on a few big hits and expanding their reach to get there.

Actors, directors, producers... please don't pretend your job is hard.

I think that for directors the job can be incredibly hard and stressful. Producers meh. Actors? not at all.

I literally fell asleep for 20 mins. Have I missed anything?

18 minutes of clapping, 2 minutes of US centric stuff

 

[alexandr]

No - roku firetv

another dream is over)

 

[BootsWalking]

Who is the Apple employee who keeps screaming "whoo" in the crowd to induce applause?

 

[BeefCake 15]

2 terrible directors and Spielberg. So they are going for a hit rate of 1 in 3. Oh boy.

It's hard to find ones without law suits against them now a days.

 

[noobinator]

I've never wanted to smash my Apple products more than I do right now. This company is lost, out of touch, and pretentious (even more so than they used to be). This is an embarrassment of a day for Apple.

 

[zakarhino]

Apple presentations get cringier every time.

 

[DocMultimedia]

Guess Spielberg looks a it like Steve Jobs, so they figured they would put his B&W image up there on the big stage.

 

[0989382]

Surprised to see Harvey Weinstein isn't there ... huh

 

[alexandr]

Next iteration. Apple TV S + MAX

good point - i'm getting ahead of myself again...

 

[jetjaguar]

oh look it's mr. streaming services don't deserve recognition himself

 

[arkitect]

Oh for the love of all things good…

Now standing ovations?

Seriously? You' think this was the second coming…

I think we now know why Apple built the circular Jobs Auditorium… circle jerks are so much easier to host.

 

[nepalisherpa]

With the prices of phones going up every year, we might have Apple and Apple+ in the near future.

 

[Jeezeypeeps]

What is this fresh hell beardie man? Do you have one of those new iPods in your pocket?

 

[alexandr]

No if you have a newer smart TV by Samsung LG or Vizo you can get the TV app on there. The app is also coming to the fire TV and the Roku.

that's good, i guess. i never got myself one of them apple tv thingies, and looks like i won't need to)

 

[noobinator]

I'm pretty sure the term "Cringe-Worthy" was coined from someone who traveled into the future and watched this event.

 

[jetjaguar]

This is so bad. WTF is happening to Apple.

 

[MACashin]

Can’t wait to torrent these shows ha.

 

[4jasontv]

Surprised to see Harvey Weinstein isn't there ... huh

This is in California, correct? He isn't allowed to leave New York.

 

[pavelbure]

Shoot me now
