Seems rather interesting that Apple is making the iPad and iMac update notices via the internet rather than during their scheduled event next Monday where they will announce the supposed new streaming service. I guess they want that event to be focused exclusively on Apple TV and streaming. I'm not holding my breath for anything of interest to come out during that event as Apple has never gotten my attention with their music, eBook, or TV services in the past. But who knows, maybe they will surprise us rather than just plopping out some boring, over priced service updates. |
They have done it in the past, though usually it's after the event rather than before the event. You are likely right about them wanting to focus on video.
I've been a fan of Apple TV for a while. It's especially good now that most of the streaming video providers are on the platform, including Prime Video. I'm really not sure if what they announce on Monday will be of interest to me or not. I get the impression that it's going to be their new stream video service.
Frankly, with everyone and their brother trying to produce their own content, it's hard to know what's out there and what's good. I dropped Netflix when they stopped carrying movies and TV shows that I was interested in, and started focusing on producing their own content, none of which I found interesting in the slightest. I just want a one stop place where I can watch whatever movie or TV show. I don't want to pay for 5 different services and go 5 different places. If Apple puts out a new service that I have to pay for and that only has a limited video library, it's pretty unlikely I'm going to buy it.
