On November 1, Apple's video streaming service will begin to operate. Although the initial catalog is not very extensive, as the weeks and months go by, it will expand. For now the catalog that you offer us has a cost of 4,99 euros per month, a price that will probably increase as your catalog increases.
Apple's plans for its streaming video service not only consist of creating original content related to TV series, but also he plans to get into feature films. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple is considering releasing its movies in commercial theaters earlier than on Apple TV +.
Some time ago the possibility that films created by VODs could not participate in film awards was eliminated, being Roma Netflix is a clear example. If Apple chooses this path, it should respect the window required by movie theaters, 90 days, a period of exclusivity that must be met before being available on demand.
Although not always, Netflix occasionally releases some of its films in theaters. This model could be a problem for a new streaming video service, as is the Apple one. The most logical thing is to attract our subscribers through your content and try to retain them as long as possible.
However, if we take into account that Apple gives away a one-year subscription to all those who buy an iPhone, iPad or Mac, it seems that from Cupertino they are in no rush to turn this new service into one that is profitable and generate a lot of revenue for the company as if you have accomplished as much as Apple Music, as with iCloud, and probably now with Apple Arcade as well.
