Gawker apple tv#
I think Apple TV+ is more about business deals required to build the Apple TV app itself.
They want to create a pure, fun gaming experience that you can put in front of your kids and not worry about it. Apple Arcade is an answer to the growing problem of in app purchases and advertising. They are also responses to growing problems. It seems like they genuinely are trying to come up with a unique service for these two areas. I also don't believe the purpose of Apple TV+ and Arcade was to create Apple One. It was created out of a genuine priority for the company to have a certain impact on the world.
Given Tim Cook has stated publicly that what Apple wants to be most known for when looking back on the company is improvements to people's health, I don't think Fitness+ was spun up to sell watches. It is much harder for us to figure this out, looking from the outside.įor Apple Fitness+, it might sell more watches, but the reason it requires a watch is because the product includes sensors that read useful data during the fitness experience that other devices simply don't have. I think there are a lot of assumptions in here about _why_ certain products and services were created. And it isn't out yet so I am giving it some benefits of doubt. One could argue Apple Fitness+ is more like iTunes where it is used to sell more Apple Watch / iPod. This give opportunity for Apple to bundle them at a discount. TV shows and Arcade Games are paid as a whole at a fixed cost regardless of users. iCloud are cost / GB, Music are cost per song played, and News are cost per article read. Unlike iCloud, Apple Music and Apple News+, Apple TV and Arcade does not have any per unit cost.
And they bought in Jimmy Iovine for that god damn "Next Song" idea.Īpple TV+ and Apple Arcade were part of the grand plan for Apple One. Something to dilute down their near 100% App Store Margin and Google Search Placement.Īpple Music was something they wanted to save iTunes / Music as a Business. They are doing it simply because they needed those Services Revenue. None of these were started because Apple thinks they could do better and contribute something, a word Steve Jobs likes to use. That is the problem I have with Apple Services as a whole, that is Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News+ and Apple Arcade. Sometimes it’s an expression of things you really care about, and an attempt to communicate those feelings to others. And an understanding that making games isn’t just a fun way to make a living. I wasn’t crying, you were crying! my eyes were just very, very dry and tired, and sad.Īnd even though the story returns to present day in the very next episode, every episode after A Dark Quiet Death was imbued with a great deal more meaning. When I finally realized it was the same show in a different time, place and with different characters I was like OK, that’s it, I gave it enough of a chance, time to stop watching.īut just before I tapped the menu button, Doc and Bean drew me in enough to watch longer, and longer, until I reached the end.īy the end I decided A Dark Quiet Death was one of the best tv episodes I’d ever seen. For the first four episodes of Mythic Quest it seems like a standard comedy show from a template, done reasonably well with good acting, but not great.Įpisode 5: “A Dark Quiet Death” takes a left turn so bizarre that for 5 minutes I thought my AppleTV had switched to an entirely different show.
