The launch of Apple TV Plus.
One question which is unanswered that, will the TV plus get subscribers. Apple is launching its service with only a few key series, including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston’s The Morning Show and Hailee Steinfeld’s drama series about poet Emily Dickinson, Dickinson. This stands nowhere close to the content Netflix has and unlike Disney+, Apple doesn’t have the backing of famous and adored titles to watch.
Apple increased its content budget from $1 billion to more than $6 billion and is committed to publishing original content to TV Plus. Apple is also spending close to $15 million an episode on some of the biggest shows, including The Morning Show and the Jason Momoa-led sci-fi series, See. It also purchased the distribution rights to Dads, a documentary by actress and filmmaker Bryce Dallas Howard which is about fatherhood around the world, at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Apart from this, Apple launched iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max With Triple Rear Cameras in India. The price for the iPhone 11 Pro is Rs. 99,900 and the price for the iPhone Pro Max are Rs. 1,09,900.
