Mcnaugha2 said: I had a 1080p TV in 2006. I bought my first 4K TV in 2014 and my first HDR set in 2018. I often use either set to watch content that is neither 4K nor HDR. It’s great when you can enjoy content with both done well but it’s …

Here in Canada it’s $5.99 a month which is reasonable for two devices and a 1080p feed. Even 720p looked watchable on a set with decent upconversion. Going further to 4K is just not that noticeable an upgrade, all things considered. For $6 a month, …

Clearly the reference to the $10,000 was intended to illustrate a point, not to put forward a literal scenario. He was just trying to accentuate that Apple’s products are well-positioned relative to the alternatives. Apple pays attention to detail i…

While I agree that 4K should be included in every tier, the truth is that even at 720p the picture looks decent on a good 4k TV. The set upconverts and as long as it’s a good quality set, that upconversion yields very good results. At least that’s m…

The $3,000 price point is utterly unworkable. That alone should have caused Apple to simply not release this device. When Apple launched the iPad, the genius of that product, the one element that launched widespread interest in tablets was an excell…

720p looks fine on a set with decent upconversion. The matter of some content not being available is a contractual matter. Netflix itself would rather not limit the content offered and is likely to work towards adding as much as it can. As for the A…

Whatever Apple does with the Mac Pro, it has to consider a price target and the needs of the pros who would be seeking out such a model. The Mac Studio appears to be powerful enough to meet the needs of a particular set of users. So in developing th…

The thing about charging more in order to deliver more and/or better content is that it results in the gains coming from good content being offset by the losses caused by a percentage of customers cutting back on the service due to excessive price i…

Netflix is counting on consumers being too lazy to subscribe/unsubscribe/subscribe on a rinse repeat cadence but raising prices so aggressively will motivate a progressively larger percentage of consumers to do just that. If enough do it, revenue pe…

Again, where is this rewritten reference coming from. The rewriting exercise in regards to the moon landing is the effort of lunatics, so to speak, running around claiming the actual moon landing never happened and the footage faked. Never mind that…

History is an accounting of what is believed to have happened. To rewrite history is usually taken to mean someone is claiming that events, as generally presented, are being presented inaccurately. A different accounting is offered up as the more a…

Once the US beat the Russians to the moon, interest in the moon virtually collapsed. Both the US and Russia regarded getting to the moon first as a glorified PR exercise. I think there is far more excitement about the potential of the James Webb tel…

What I like is Apple charging the least for its service and sticking with original content. Apple charges an amount that is suited to it being something you add on to whatever else you subscribe to because there is enough content to justify paying t…

No need to overthink this. Bottom line is, does the service at a given price point offer enough to justify the cost. It’s either yes or no. If yes, then I sign up and if no then not. I would imagine that quite a few consumers will not limit themselv…

Apple always plays the long game. Apple TV+ is growing in content and will do so for the foreseeable future. Three, four, five years from now no one is going to care that it mainly offers Apple-generated content on account of there is going to be so…

Long-term, offering Apple TV+ content in other formats, like releasing it on disc, will generate more revenue. Getting into the content production game is really low risk for Apple regardless of what ultimately happens to the streaming service. Even…

At the end of the day this production will be judged as any production is, on its merits or lack thereof. When a filmmaker conjures up something, regardless of the source material, it’s that filmmaker’s work that matters not the source. It would b…
