Marc has criticized the promotion of free access to Apple TV + by buying a new device, an offer that has been extended twice, with June being the date on which, initially, the second extension is scheduled to end, stating that not yet he has not put both feet in this service.
If Apple spent a quarter of its time on content as it does on gifts, they could really play. They have no excuse [and] they are not at it with both feet yet. They have to be enterprising, walk to the edge of the cliff, and jump.
He has also commented that Apple TV + has the highest churn rate of all streaming video services currently available on the market, stating that you can't go substituting clients, you have to give them a reason to stay.
Netflix said last January that it plans to release an original film every week in 2021. Disney + plans to expand the catalog available on the platform throughout this year, with new Star Wars and Marvel series, as well as other titles.
The Apple TV + catalog is limited to content that you have produced or purchased from third parties, without offering a recurring catalog base that users can consume while they wait for new series to be released.
As long as things do not change, this will be the main weak point of this platform, a problem that Disney + does not have, a service that hit the market in November 2019, like Apple TV +, and that has 95 million subscribers (the majority in captured by the launch promotions of this service)
