Good business plan - gets people on board, pulls them off netflix for half the price

 

[ic1male]

Is that then $10 extra per month for 4K?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Not really interested in Apple TV+ but that price and new competition like Disney Plus is going to really hurt Netflix, especially if they keep upping their prices.

 

[morkfromork]

get those with it hooked to add people who don't smart.

 

[visibleman]

Will Apple be buying in TV shows like Amazon/Netflix?
Just wondering how big the library will initially be...

 

[wozza2k]

1 year free too, not bad.

Not really free if they end up upping the price of the hardware which they no doubt will

Yeah....introduction price. Watch it start going up after 2 years.

Shame that streaming has fragmented so much.

With Disney pulling the plug on Netflix you’ll still need a combination of 2 or more services to get it all.

ATV+ and Disney could be a winner assuming Apple’s catalogue is meaty.

 

[Converge]

Will that year free justify the expected increased cost of the iPhone?

Obviously, netflix also ramped up their price ahead of time knowing they cant up it now for at least 2 years due to apple, disney etc

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

No one else is giving 1 year free at $5/month without upselling.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

If they're comparing the new iPad against a budget laptop I'm guessing they don't really have much to market with this iteration.

Apple saving lives now, you can't put a price on that

I regularly get notifications that my heart rate drops <45bpm (I do lots of fitness) what they’ve done for health is great.

What do you do with that information?

 

[Combat Fighter]

Out of interest how often do you have to charge a Apple Watch?

 

[Deleted member 651465]

What do you do with that information?

If I’m just chilling out, then not much. If I am at my desk at work then get up and get some water.

I’ve found that my heart drops quite low, so I like knowing when it drops a bit lower than I’d like.



@Combat Fighter about once a day

My series 2, i could take it off charge Monday morning and put it back on charge Tuesday evening.

Why does it gobble up its power so quickly? My Garmin only gets charged once a week.

 

[SDK^]

To think, just a few years ago Tim Cook said Apple were not interested in developing wearable devices

I stopped using my Garmin forerunner because it holds music, tracks my workouts and can make calls.

Depends what you want really? If you want battery life and only want to track steps then a Fitbit would last months
