Apple TV + arrives in the us in November

(and will cost $ 10 a month) Bloomberg reveals new details about Apple’s streaming service. In the USA it starts already in November 2019 with the first original TV series. The plans are not yet public - no specific announcement was made after the grand presentation in March - but a Bloomberg’s report already reveals some details about the service with which Apple plans to invade the world of streaming TV. Apple TV + will be active in the United States from November 2019, with a monthly subscription of $ 9.99 and the chance to take a month’s trial. The platform will be integrated into the Apple TV app and can be accessed from Apple devices, but also from compatible smart TVs.

How many and which TV series The forecasts in this sector are rosy for Apple. There is talk of a potential that can reach up to 50 billion dollars in revenues from the services division by 2020. And one of the cards on which the company aims with conviction is precisely Apple TV +, a streaming service that will also propose the original contents of Apple. According to the Financial Times, about 6 billion dollars have already been put on the plate to produce them, with a budget of one billion dollars already for the first year. At the debut, only a small selection of a much larger catalog will be available.

There will be the titles already announced: ‘The Morning Show’ with Jennifer Aniston, ‘Amazing Stories’ by Steven Spielberg, ‘See’ with Jason Mamoa, ‘Truth to Be Told’ with Octavia Spencer and a documentary called ‘Home’. New TV series will be added later, in the following months, according to Bloomberg sources. You will probably not adopt the technique born with Netflix to load the entire season at once to then leave the user the choice of when (and how) to look at it. It seems that in Cupertino it was decided to offer the first three episodes of a content initially, to then release an episode every week.

Focus on streaming Apple TV + will therefore be one of the most important streaming services that the company is offering to its users. Together with the already active iCloud and Apple Music, as well as the upcoming Apple Arcade and Apple News +. But in the case of television, the scenario is already very crowded. Not only the already established industry giants, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. But also new rivals who are planning to take to the field at the same time as Apple. First of all the dreaded Disney. The launch month is the same: November. The subscription to Disney’s platform, tough, should cost a little less than that of Cupertino: $ 6.99.
