Who will Apple contend against for your dollars?
Apple’s forthcoming service would launch at a time when apparently every major media property is putting out its own streaming choice, from DC Universe’s comic-flavored fare to a planned Disney providing, not to mention stalwarts like Netflix.
Meanwhile, NBCUniversal and HBO-owner WarnerMedia are both building their own streaming services.
Clearly, an Apple service with $6 billion worth of premium video will compete with the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and others that stream on-demand, high-quality productions.
Should Apple expand to bundling other digital networks, then Amazon Channels will be its key rival. Apple would also go up against wireless companies such as AT&T’s VRV, a co-op of niche genre streaming services.
A channel-bundling model would even bring Apple in competition with traditional cable.
What’s interesting is that Apple’s dive into original programming comes as other giants are ramping up their own streaming-service ambitions.
Disney will launch a $7-a-month Netflix-like service Nov. 12. Called Disney Plus, the digital service will be a home base for streaming all of Disney’s blockbuster movies, multiple Star Wars and Marvel original series and other programming. Compared with Apple’s nine titles at launch, Disney Plus will have at least 300 movies to stream plus thousands of TV episodes.

But Apple is on a deadline to double its services revenue to $50 billion before 2021.
Apple quickly established its bona fides in subscriptions businesses with Apple Music. But the content on Apple Music is essentially the same as every other music service. They all have tens of millions of songs. Apple Music has been successful largely because of its presence on the iPhone, already in the pockets of millions of people. It hasn’t been nearly as successful working the other direction, acting as a lure to buy the latest Apple gadget.
Original video from big-name stars and creators you can’t watch anywhere else, however, could be different.
Apple clearly has a hunch it will be
