TwinIon Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They just released a trailer for The Morning Show. It looks fine, could be great, could be meh. It certainly doesn't scream that it's worth $10/month. I don't see how Apple thinks that this will work. How is this not going to be bundled with other stuff? How in the world do they look at the prices for Hulu and Disney+ and think, "yeah, our five shows are worth more than those libraries." My theory is that Apple "leaked" this high price but the official announcement will be lower. There's no way a $10/month price works for something with so little content.

Mercury33 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I’m pretty over everything apple and their entire infrastructure. This will be an easy service to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact you could say they're worth more than that making this an incredible bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSoxFan9 Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Apple does like to strategically leak bad news in advance of official announcements. hopefully they will bundle Apple TV Plus with service with a back catalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same how they can charge $.99/month for iCloud back-ups with less storage than Google or MS gives for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want backups and you've got an Apple device, you don't have a choice. While annoying, or even predatory, I see how they get away with it. This is an actual competitive market. It's more like Apple Music, a service that gives you all the same content as its competitors for the same price. Like Apple Music, this is a service that they're trying to sell more broadly. They're making a big push to make sure you can watch Apple TV without even owning an Apple product. They haven't gone all the way to Android or Fire TV apps, but still, they're trying. They're also spending $6B on content this year. That's more than double what they spent on Beats, their largest acquisition ever (and one that came with a profitable hardware division in addition to a streaming service). Sure, it's a drop in the bucket for them, but again, it shows that they seem to be serious about this. A $10/month service with the content they've shown just isn't competitive, and I feel like they must know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 The contempt Apple has for their own customer base is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 That's a crazy price. If you told me it was $12/mo and included Apple Music, that would make a little more sense. $10/mo as its own service is wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Commenting on a rumor is pretty pointless. There is no way Apple would ever put out a 5 show lineup for $10 a month. That doesn't even make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
