Stopping innovative hardware to focus on subscription services is a sad day for Apple. Banking on people forgetting to cancel a monthly subscription to keep profit margins up is certainly a way to make a buck but for a company that used to be a world beater this is a whimper.

- saurik 7y agoI already subscribe to Apple Music, which seems similar?
- dagw 7y agoOne big difference is that Apple isn't producing any of the content on Apple Music, while they seem to be planning to produce a fair bit of the content for TV+
