With the onslaught of feature films planned to premier on the service, I'm starting to think that maybe naming the service Apple TV+ is not the best idea.

Leave the device as Apple TV and call the service Apple Video or something else that encompasses all forms of video content..

Yes, please, Anything to avoid the regular confusion these two things can cause.

I’m really looking forward to seeing this.  That said, $70m seems like a huge amount for Apple to pay for 1 movie. 

True. But note that Disney paid $75m for Hamilton. So, this seems to be the going rate!

Delighted to see that my iPad Air 2 gets another year of updates (probably its last, of course!). Thanks, Apple.

This is one of those epic tails on the scale of Dune or LOTR.  if they do it justice, a la Peter Jackson, they’ll be heroes.  If they don’t, ehem... David Lynch, they’ll be pilloried for decades.

Don’t screw this up guys!!!

That’s the real issue. Will it be worthy of the original story?

There is no "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is not in "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is located in Limerick, Ireland.  That other place is part of England.

Of course there is. Those of us who live in southern Ireland, especially along the border, use the term regularly. It’s just a quick way to differentiate between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Now, let’s get back to the main topic... Foundation is coming and it’s being produced here! Wow! I loved this series as a teenager. I just hope this is a great production.
