Apple Inc at its special march event announces it release of its long awaited exclusive services. According to its CEO Tim Cook, "is unlike anything that's come before".
Apple Tv +
Apple launches its independent video streaming service named Apple Tv +. The streaming service will offer exclusive shows, movies and documentaries from acclaimed filmmakers like JJ Abrams, Steven Spielberg and M. Night Shyamalan.
Apple Card & Apple News
The launch also include an amazing inventory by apple, it launched its personal credit card Apple Card.Unlike the basic package of Hulu, Apple TV Plus will be ad-free from the start, and will be available in 100-plus countries through a section of the Apple TV app. It will be available starting in autumn 2019 (September through November) on smart TVs, MacOS and iOS.
Vs Netflix?
Tim made it very clear that Apple TV Plus isn't Netflix – at least not yet. While the service will offer original content by the boatload, Apple TV Plus won't offer licensed content – syndicated shows like The Big Bang Theory, Mr. Robot or Seinfeld.
For now, you'll still have to buy those shows a la carte through iTunes or via your terrestrial cable app in Apple TV Channels.
There's also the question of availability. Cook named a number of major TV manufacturers who will offer the new Apple TV app in his keynote, but never came close to mentioning all the platforms where Netflix is available, like Android TV, PC desktops and laptops, and non-Apple tablets.
The silver lining to Apple creating its own content, though, is that the service could be relatively cheap – only a few dollars / pounds per month. As we know from Netflix, licensing syndicated content isn't cheap, and those contracts eventually end and must either be renewed or dropped altogether.
