Here's what to expect from Apple's special event today
Apple Inc. will shift its business further toward the services side Monday, according to a new report a day before the unveiling of its highly anticipated streaming-video service.
While Apple staff have reportedly been calling the service a Netflix-killer, preliminary details make it sound more like a cable-killer, with the ability to subscribe to other streaming providers with a single click, making the process easier for consumers. The Journal said Apple will offer subscriptions to channels such as HBO, Showtime and Starz for $9.99 a month each. The service’s offerings will not include Netflix, that company’s CEO said last week.
The Journal said Apple would break with its standard practice and also offer its streaming service through third-party devices, such as Roku streaming sticks and smart TVs. Also Monday, the Journal said Apple will unveil a premium subscription tier to its News app, with access to more than 200 magazines and newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, for $9.99 a month. The New York Times and Washington Post, which have higher-priced monthly subscription programs, reportedly will not be part of the service.
