In the first episode of the Apple TV+ show “The Studio,” Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese sells his script to the fictional Continental Studios, only to be told later by a studio chief played by Seth Rogen that the project, about Jonestown, has been killed. [...] “Just give me back my movie and let me go sell it to f— Apple, the way I should have done it in the first place,” a despairing Scorsese says.
The line could practically be an ad for how Apple TV+, the Cupertino tech giant’s streaming service, has positioned itself as a creative haven for filmmakers trying to sell bold, original ideas.
With Apple's in-house designed chips showcasing that they are more than just great slices of silicon for getting stuff done, and have the graphical grunt for gaming, I could see a decent future for actually gaming on Macs.
Now I don’t expect custom Windows PCs to be replaced by Macs, no matter how powerful the latter get. But I do see MacBooks being viable gaming machines if more games are ported over to run on M-series chips, either via the App Store on Stream.
According to a new report from Wayne Ma from The Information, Apple may be looking to shake up its release strategy with the iPhone 18 lineup, with some models launching in the fall as they would normally, and others moving to a new spring release window.
From blossoming long-distance love to helping families stay connected, for years Skype held a unique place in people's hearts.
In the days before Zoom, WhatsApp and Teams, the video call service was once one of the world's most popular websites.
But really, maybe Star Wars isn't even wrong here. I mean, it is in a whole different galaxy, and they have special powers like The Force. Perhaps they figured out a way to send information faster than the speed of light. One thing is certain: Ignoring the science makes for great entertainment. But understanding the science sure makes you appreciate our home on Earth. Go outside right now and listen to all the sounds!
When Apple loses the money from Google, and if Apple loses much of the money from developers, where will Apple squeeze for more Service revenue? I don't think it will be Apple TV+, where it still haven't had any success in pushing up subscriber numbers significantly, nor will Apple want to increase prices significantly in fear of heavier churn. Neither will it be Apple Music, where the profit margin are probably thin.
It probably isn't iCloud+, even though Apple is never going to increase the 5GB storage on the free tier, right?
Maybe Apple may finally have some success with the new Apple Ads outside of App Store.
But what I really hope? Let's not have the CFO drive these products.
