"Apple’s original TV shows reportedly won’t be free — plus $9.99 for HBO, Starz, Showtime." I'll reserve judgement but this is no Netflix killer. Not even close. My cable deal gives me HBO and Showtime for free. https://t.co/NTbsbuRnTD

WSJ: 애플이 스타즈, 쇼타임, HBO TV 및 뉴스의 각 구독 서비스 당 월 $9.99 받을 것. 이는 내일 애플 특별 이벤트 전에 확인된 것. 애플, 미래에 많은 스마트 TV 세트에 자사 TV 앱을 제공하기 위해 협상하고 있어. 애플 직원들, 새로운 TV 서비스를 "넷플릭스 킬러"로 설명. https://t.co/bsze5vRs2X

단언컨데 현재 리크 대로라면 이번 이벤트는 스티브 잡스 사후 최고로 노잼일듯. 일단 우리나라엔 해당사항이 없음...https://t.co/iQqGjdadye

“They were freaked out." Apple executives knew they needed to write a new chapter. Can video and news be the answer? https://t.co/qnCmk48vGs

Not mentioned in this article is Amazon and Hulu charge $10.99 for Showtime and $14.99 for HBO. That would take people away like me to save a little money on those. https://t.co/WBCvlVsgnM

Apple the services company that tracks what apps are successful in the App Store so it can build competing products does not look so different than Facebook selling a VPN to track competing social networks or Amazon doing AmazonBasics

Apple birthed the smartphone app with the invention of the iPhone and App Store. But some apps have become so successful they are now among Apple's biggest threats to the iPhone business.

WSJ reporting sources telling them Apple has switched its thinking and now plans to charge for original programming — Apple has always planned to charge down the road but original plans were to give away programming for free. What Apple says Monday will be newsy. https://t.co/mvjT9FTivU

“They built an organization to make beautiful gadgets." The iPhone made Apple, but it's running out of juice. What's next? A new TV app, dubbed internally as the Netflix killer, and a revamped News app. https://t.co/aiB09gie8R

This story talks about Apple's $1 billion budget "to buy dozens of original TV shows." It talks about news. It talks about apps. It doesn't talk about sports rights. Not once. Good story by @trippmickle. https://t.co/0AsqTD9V1E

“After a 2015 effort to persuade Walt Disney Co. and others to join a streaming-TV service faltered, Apple’s executives debated alternatives, including acquiring Walt Disney Co. or Netflix, and building its own studio, people familiar with the discussions said.” https://t.co/iBcDatORRi

Tim Cook began pushing the services strategy hard in late 2017. The iPhone X was boosting revenue but Apple wasn't selling more phones. The CEO began meeting monthly w/ the services division, peppering it w/ probing Qs he had used to create Apple's first-class operations division
