Apple recently announced the launch date of its Apple TV + viewing platform, which will begin on November 1, for $ 4.99 per month.
The service will start with original and exclusive series, and then add new business every month. CEO Tim Cook said the service will be available in more than 100 countries from the first day of launch.
Lowest price and one year free for Apple customers
It may be difficult to compare all platforms that offer paid viewing services around the world, but $ 5 a month is the lowest value in monthly subscriptions of the most famous of the time, such as Netflix, Amazon and Hulu.
In addition, customers who buy an iPhone, iMac, or Apple TV will receive a one-year free subscription, so Apple uses its most popular products to add subscribers to its network.
The value of the simple subscriptions and exclusive and original business of the new network there will add a lot of features that encourage the subscription, such as the ability to follow the show "Time", the work of "CBS" ("CBS" and "Starz" and others).
The company's plan came to compensate for the lack of sales of Apple products in some places around the world, after years of great growth, to focus its focus on the next time to provide paid services.
Apple and Disney start together
The new information about the service "Apple TV Plus" was very expected, especially after the blackout on it. At the end of last March, at a special event for Apple, only a few details were announced, not including the release date, or the subscription price, while weeks later Disney has identified several details of its platform, which will be released as Disney +, and will begin on November 12, the same month as Apple TV Plus.
In addition to Disney and Apple, there is a viewing platform coming close to Warner Media, one of the major Hollywood production companies and studios.
The most important original works
At the same event, Tim Cook announced the original works that will be available on the Apple TV Plus platform, including:
"See": an epic drama starring Jason Momoa, famous for the role of "Aquaman" in the series of films "DC", and set on the series after six hundred years of the spread of a virus that has killed most of humanity, leaving the rest blind and trying to find new ways To survive.
"The Morning Show": a series starring and producing "Reese Witherspoon" as well as Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell, and revolves around the world of morning news programs, television broadcasters and writers and conflicts of ambition and views.
Dickinson: a teen comedy that explores the community and family from the eyes of a young poet revolting over everything called Emily Dickson.
"Helpsters": Children also have a share in the original works on Apple, where this famous series in the Arab world will be presented as Sesame Street, this time with new characters who are taking adventures befitting the age we live in now.
All of this means more competition for the most famous platform in this area, which swept the world "Netflix", and may be lowering the prices of competitors to participate better for ordinary viewers, but at the same time means that he needs to participate in more than one platform in order to be able to follow all these good works on Miscellaneous platforms.
