We’re going a little in reverse as these were announced ahead of the hardware but I’m just getting around to it. Let’s dive into Apple’s new streaming services. First off, we got Apple TV+ pricing and a launch date.
The service officially kicks off on November 1st and will be priced at $5 per month. You want to know what else, Apple is giving you one-year for free when you purchase a new iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV. Gotta love that price point as I’m not sure if the Disney+ pricing had any effect on the pricing as Apple is known for many things but value isn’t one of them. We already know Apple has tons of $$$ as they’re shelling out up to $6 billion for original content so hopefully its worth it.
Next up, we have Apple’s game streaming service dubbed Apple Arcade. This one is actually coming a lot sooner like next week soon. It will launch on September 19th and will be $5 per month but offers a 1-month free trial as well. Apple Arcade is ready for the call as it will launch w/ over 100 titles as well. Both Apple Arcade & Apple TV+ streaming services will support Apple’s Family Sharing feature too.
And lastly, iOS 13 and watchOS 6 becomes available on September 19th while iPadOS drops on September 30th.
