I suspect the entertainment industries, (film, tv and music), have fundamental differences from technology products in how they operate.
The necessity of an integrated stack of content and delivery has had corrupting influence on Apple products.
In Music, pushing content on For You and elimination of free radio as described to drive revenue at the clear expense of customer experience.
In Apple TV, the company has to compete in providing content that is at odds with Apple values. For example, the recent purchase of John Lasseter’s work and having to put punchy Mcpunchington Will Smith on the cover of Apple TV because the content was already bought.
- Nevermark 4y agoThe content-value mismatch is ok with me, given they distribute other studio's films that Apple's leadership has expressed issues with. I.e. Danny Boyle's "Steve Jobs". They can be a consistently indulgent distributor, or a consistently selective content producer, but not consistent in both roles. I prefer the former. (I found Boyle's movie brilliant, when interpreted as a serious comedic drug dream, subsequent to a marathon reading of Steve Jobs bios, articles and opinion pieces. Of varying questionability and authenticity. In random order. On a plane.)
