There is a clear superiority in visual quality, technically speaking, to Apple’s offerings compared to Netflix, at least here in Canada. Not that Netflix is bad but so far Apple is just that much better. I suspect, though, that the quality of the de…

Star Wars and Marvel spinoffs is not really my idea of appealing original content. I’m a bit weary of all the franchise titles developed for cinema distribution on that front so even more related content just feels like overkill. Not everyone feels …

Disney+ will do quite well, I’m sure, but it’s not going to appeal to everybody in that it’s basically a lot of legacy content and even more doses of Star Wars, Marvel and Co. There are only so many hours in a day any of us can set aside for consum…

Right now Apple doesn’t have enough content to promote the service aggressively. Millions will have access as a perk for buying an Apple product they would have bought anyway. The price of the service is modest and millions will get it free at launc…

The problem with Disney+ is that not everybody has a huge appetite for even more Star Wars/Marvel content. I absolutely loved Stars Wars when it came out back in the 1970s and a bit of superhero fun and games is fine. Yet incessant dipping into thos…

Instead of loading up with lots of content to justify charging more, Apple is offering it’s original programming for an attractive price. At this pricing level, Apple TV + becomes a compliment to whatever else consumers choose to stream rather than …

Done right, streaming services are less likely to compete against each other as they are to collectively profit from a different approach to delivering content than the waning network broadcast model. It ought to be less about luring other streaming…

The only way I see the multiple streaming services model working out is if the providers keep subscriptions low enough that many consumers will not choose between them but rather subscribe to most, if not, all of them. Significantly below $10 a mont…

The beauty of digital distribution is that the additional cost of increasing volume is relatively low. It can work out to be a matter of less is more in that if you lower subscription cost which triggers a dramatic increase in subscribers, you can …

Making this about how good the content is, really misses the point. Even if the content is superb, if it consists of a few Apple productions, $10 a month will not fly. Other established services deliver strong content plus a lot of other material of…

If the only product offered consists of a handful of Apple productions, charging anything close to $10 a month is suicide. Not doing a lot of content can work if the price is right. $10 is not that right price. Period.

Best way Apple could go would be to offer up Apple TV+ for a small monthly fee, around $5 a month. At that price, there is great potential for many to sign on, regardless of what the other streaming services offer. There are enough potential subscr…

Sounds like a potentially expensive offering that will have a hard time gaining traction. Of course, the devil is in the details and the biggest question is how much will it cost. Many such services vying for consumers to agree to significant monthl…
