Cool story bro. Totally irrelevant and no one gives a damn, but thanks for sharing...I just remembered how I didn't care enough to activate the free Apple TV+ year when I bought my 11 Pro. Speaking as a heavy Netflix/Prime binger, it's one of those things I don't even want for free.
Why be so negative? I've had 3 or 4 shows that I thought were good.I just remembered how I didn't care enough to activate the free Apple TV+ year when I bought my 11 Pro. Speaking as a heavy Netflix/Prime binger, it's one of those things I don't even want for free.
Offering it free to hardware buyers was a good decision to start building up a base of users. After year one, it’ll be worth paying for.
In the future, I’d like to see it expand into live content. Like Apple Music has Beats 1, AppleTV+ could have curated content from its library as well as exclusive content to the live channel like sports and news.
People need to let this idea go. In a couple of years there isn't going to be any third party content. Marvel Movies and Game of Thrones? Haven't you been paying attention? The owners of things like that are firing up their own streaming services and there'll be increasingly slim pickings for Apple and Netflix etc. as time goes on. Maybe in a few more years, when the weaker ones die off they'll go back to licensing again, but its not all that likely. They'll just get absorbed by the winners.Apple really need to fill up the blanks with 3rd party contents, stream it for a limited time just like Netflix does. Maybe all Marvel movies for 3 months, or Game of Thrones complete series for 6 months, then replace it with another. Keep doing that and it'll keep me hooked. TV+ is a noob startup in the streaming world, and none of the show became a hit yet. Apple just gotta reach out to keep things interesting.
Besides, ATV+ strikes me as a bit of an antidote to Marvel movies. Not everyone's interested in Marvel stuff. Some of us are completely turned off by it, and by Game of Thrones and some of what Netflix is doing. Which is something Apple would know very well after selling movies and TV episodes direct to consumers for over a decade.
It's a shame Apple barely promoted this - so far their docu-series have been beautifully shot and very good (See also Visible).
