    You guys nailed it on the vanilla content Apple seems to be interested in. Unlike say HBO and Netflix which provide content to a wide ranging audience (G - Mature) Apple will unlikely taint the companies name with content that could put off any segment of the iPhone, iPad, iMac...... buying public. You are also correct in that taking risks is the only way to stand out an already crowed field of entertainment subscription services. Thanks for the "dad jeans" line too.

    Haven't any of you considered the obvious? iPhone Pro Not 8. That's dumb. That's contrary to all things Apple.
