According to The Information, Apple's TV streaming service is expected to launch in the first half of next year. The service can arrive as a standalone app or even within an existing TV app. The report points out that the novelty will first reach the United States and then more than 100 countries.
The service will feature a combination of original programming, access to third-party services and the ability to directly subscribe to channel packages offered by cable network providers.
Apple has for years been trying to transform streaming as digital media and apps. However, it has not been as successful as other companies in the sector, such as Amazon and Netflix.
Now, however, the company appears to be ready to change that with the launch of its TV streaming service. Apple should invest in original content and for that it has set aside US$ 1 billion. On Apple Music, the company has already added its original shows, such as Carpool Karaoke and Planet of the Apps.
We're still not sure if the programming will be good enough to compete with other companies that have been established for years in the market, such as Amazon and Netflix. And anyway, Apple has a lot of money to invest in the sector, which is already a great start.
