Well, that was a rubbish presentation!!!

News
: Anyone with half a brain doesn't read news any more - we all know now its just modern day propoganda & serves no purpose other than to manipulate readers minds, sure they throw in a few nice stories here and there but just no - if you think you 'need' news, have a word with yourself, hell no anyone would pay £10 a month for it

TV+: As people have said, I think apple are perhaps too late to the game here - if it's going to be profitable its going to be a slow burner - it will take years for people to get on board in their masses - a killer show or shows will get more people on board - apples ease of access and use of their devices may help

Arcade: I don't see this competing very well, unless it appeals to the younger gen who can convince their parents to subscribe - it won't compete with Steam etc, anyone who's an adult is already invested in steam/xbox/ps4

Credit card: Has potential to seriously ruin/seriously annoy mainstream banks - im 100% behind that, even though its a mega corp doing it

What hugely converted me to apple is their privacy policies - as long as they stick to it, ill stick with them, which is why news annoys me, however I can understand there is a reasonable amount of non-propoganda news items, I just dislike how its all interwoven into other stuff.
 
Interesting that the Apple TV app is going to smart TVs , Roku and fire tv .....that’s gotta torpedo sales of the Apple TV box no ? I’m tempted to sell mine now
.. they had announced a new cheap stick a while back .. but the hardware in the TV is still good ... they were supposedly making a loss on them.

so will the apps give access to itunes/4k movie purchases ? that would increase the value of those, if I could access them from a 4K roku.

Very true , i wouldn't be completely surprised if the apps on non apple devices were gimped somehow e.g. cant see purchases....hopefully not

apple company dress ... followers of the style of their ex leader ? ....I assume Oprah wasn't similarly attired.
The Science Of Simplicity: Why Successful People Wear The Same Thing Every Day
The president is not alone in this practice. The late, great, Steve Jobs wore his signature black turtleneck with jeans and sneakers every single day.
 
They said that Apple News is the #1 news app.

Does anyone here use it? I don’t think I’ve ever opened it.

was that a US-centric comment ... iphones homeland.

will be interesting to see how the anti-trust laws evolve to ensure iplayer & brittv apps are not relegated to page 2. .... (edit) on smart tvs that is
 
Both meaningless statements considering products from every manufacturer do fail - unless you're saying all Swingline staplers are bullet proof? :eek:

Some can be bullet proof if you make them bullet proof. :p

I use it because it centralizes all news in one location. I have 10 feeds coming in from different sources all up to date by swiping down. :)
