Apple has something Netflix does not, @edmundlee notes: more than a billion devices all over the world, which amounts to an infrastructure. That beats out the 130 million people worldwide who have subscribed to Netflix. https://t.co/ulbA8obDA2

“Netflix has 60 million customers in the US. Comcast has 25 million broadband customers. Hulu has 25 million. Amazon Prime has 97 million, but not all are watching its videos.

Their reach is minuscule compared with Apple, which has 1.4 billion devices in use around the world” https://t.co/10Yx3jeTXV
Fascinating tidbit:
— M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) March 21, 2019
“With the new video storefront/service, Apple will host and serve the streams, which means it will have primary access to the viewing data its users generate.”
They’re not linking to the apps, they’re hosting and streaming the content. Quite the shift. https://t.co/Xu7QG1Xhwv
Article says about Apple's gaming service:
— Dr. Serkan Toto (Kantan Games Inc.) (@serkantoto) March 23, 2019
- focus on iPad and iPhone
- already talking to devs
- not cloud-based
- probably focus on premium games
- monthly subscr. as business model
- pay devs based on how long users play the games
- service could possibly be teased on Monday https://t.co/x0UmltAHst

When you've cut the cord to everything, and sign up to a dozen individual services to justify (mostly to yourself) that you are now consuming what you want rather than what some faceless corporation bundled together... More subscription fatigue in 3,2,1...https://t.co/BRhLBEGVVL

1. Start Apple News, and promise to eventually monetize
2. OMG PAGEVIEWS but hey where's the money?
3. Oh hey look at this pretty new revshare modelhttps://t.co/XxuyLgNvHF
Apple is also working on a games service. It won’t take on new cloud streaming offerings like Stadia. Instead, it will focus on iPhones and iPads and bundle together paid games from different developers that consumers can access for a monthly fee. https://t.co/iPrmSHvncs

This article is a very positive spin on the fact that Apple's core business of selling iPhones, iPads & Macs is stagnating
— Dare Obasanjo (@Carnage4Life) March 23, 2019
So their future is squeezing more money out of existing device owners & partners/developers instead of innovating their way out. Sadhttps://t.co/IXSMoBbrFQ
