Wild times we live in. If it wasn't for me multitasking, there is no way I would've sat through this garbage.

Soooo stupid. All I want it the ability to pay apple a subscription for iMessage on Android and they once again botched it. Tim cook can't leave the company fast enough. Fire him already!
Look at their competition too. Disney with Hulu (ABC, Fox, Viacom and Comcast content) and Disney+ (Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars)
Netflix is grandfathered in to a do no wrong company that seems to have figured out streaming 100%. Content creators are going to go to them just to be on Netflix.
Amazon has Prime which is tied to ordering stuff on the largest marketplace
AT&T/Time Warner is reportedly going to get into the streaming game and they have huge IPs (Game of Thrones, Sopranos, Harry Potter, etc...)
So for a streaming service to compete with the other 5 you're going to have to ink some absolutely massive deals. Just because it says Apple may sell to some people, but you're going to have to get your content going strong to get people to cancel Netflix or Hulu and jump over to you (because consumers won't want to have 7 different services)
Apple needed to come out with Stephen King on stage and talk about making some uncensored raw miniseries based on a few of his books.
The comments always prove to be entertaining here. We both know you're not going to stop purchasing iPhones just because Apple released new services lol.
I'm confused. Are you saying you buy used Apple products or that you shop at Best Buy?
If you think this is peak, June will make you cry.
Well...that was interesting. Tim's acting skills hit a new hight. The tears for billionaire Oprah is epic. Cries the other billionaire.
The idea for which was basically stolen from the Fyre Festival guy. They should just call it Macnises.

So save up your pennies, Distraction Generation. We've got a lot of ignoring of really important things ahead of us! Make life trivial.
Except for Oprah. <3

It's like the Oscars, except nobody wins.
Yikes, yikes, big y i k e s... Subscriptions all over the place... also LOL at Konami 
wth are you thinking Apple? That's not something you should be proud of.
Corporate greed, corporate greed, corporate greed that's all I see in this keynote. O_O WOW they even mentioned Goldman Sachs... Is this real life?
People who play video games don't want subscription based services, you dolts... Is Apple just oblivious to the gaming news these past 2 years? And they've already let us know they don't actually care for games, when they killed Game Center... Man if they bring it back just to make achievements relevant again (which they WILL need to, if they have any hope of having this work), that'd be rich. And sad.
This is all sad. Today is the day Apple loses it's soul, its seems. If there is no hardware, that is the case.
"Hurr hurr suscription and free to play games have ruined gaming on our platform, so we're making them ALL subscription based!! (or trying to) Give us som dat monneeh!" eeek So much bloat for people who don't want or need it. Apple Music is obstructive as it is...
One day, some Exec will wake up, and realize people aren't so dumb, and have realized paying those $9.99 a month per subscription to Netflix, Disney, Apple, HBO, etc.. etc.. All add up, and none provide actual ownership for their money. And this subscription thing is not this glorious money tree they all seem to see. It's a mirage. Unless of course... people really ARE that dumb...

Wait... that freak was crying on stage?
