The service will offer about 25 channels, including the major networks ABC, CBS and Fox, which will become available on all devices running Apple’s iOS operating system.
The service should be announced in June at WWDC 2015, and should be a service that looks like the next Sling Dish TV from Sony, a package from $ 20 a month that includes the vision of LiveTV of 12 channels, including ESPN, TNT, CNN, HGTV and Disney Channel.
Although the report does not mention a WSJ subscription cost for the service, you think that Apple can charge from $ 30 to $ 40 a month, but not Apple responded to requests for further details. Even as a little ‘time Apple is working on a more complete video streaming service over-the-top, even though there have never been concrete signs of this new product is ready for launch. This delay has been attributed by most to the difficulty of setting the right price for the ‘offer that the company intends to offer its customers.
Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services, said that “TV is a difficult problem to solve. One of the problems that you have with a TV is to have a different system for each group of suppliers. There is no rule. There are a lot of rights issues.”
It seems that NBCUniversal, the owner of NBC, is not included in negotiations with Apple because of a conflict that the company’s bitten apple has going with Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal; In fact, the two companies were in talks last year to offer a streaming service dedicated to TV channels controlled by Comcast, but several meetings have not led to anything concrete, apart from the fact that Comcast has begun to develop their own practice set- top box.
