Welcome to "The Outwrite Podcast". This article is published on www.theoutwrite.com by Varun Singh Rajput.

25th of March’19, Apple hosted an amazing event which I would call a services centric one. Some most awaited services were finally introduced like Apple News+, Apple Arcade, Apple TV plus and of course Apple Card. Now, in a recent iPhone event held on the 10th of September’19, the company explained Apple TV plus further which makes it more interesting than we thought. Apple TV plus service starts on the 1st of November’19, would cost $4.99 in the US, and only $1.40 in India which is Rs. 99 in INR. 

The good news, it’s a part of family sharing, so up to 6 family members can enjoy one Apple TV plus subscription. As a user, you will have a 7 days trial to experience the service. If you plan to buy any apple device whether an iPhone, Apple TV, MacBook, iPod touch, iPad, iMac or Apple watch, then the company will provide one year’s subscription without any hidden cost. Now, what all devices will support Apple TV+ content? For sure, iOS, Apple tvOS, macOS and iPadOS have this service enabled already. In the future, Apple would be extending this service to other major streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, some of the newer smart TVs like Samsung, LG, Sony also part of the process. 

Few Apple TV+ original stories have already created excitement among consumers like See, The Morning Show, etc. However, the biggest curiosity leading towards Oprah Winfrey TV show – it focuses on “Scourge and toll of sexual harassment in the workplace” titled Toxic Labor. This show was announced on the 25th of March’19 with a great introductory script “This is a moment in time unlike any other. And it seems there’s never been a better time for optimism, inclusion, and creativity. To inspire people to find common ground. 

And there’s one voice that has done this best. A voice that we have all been missing. A voice that when amplified, reminds us how much ideas matter. How much conversation matters. How much community matters. And the world needs more of what matters.“ For India, Apple TV+ has 11 exclusive original titles like For All Mankind The Morning Show SEE Dickinson Snoopy in Space The Elephant Queen Helpsters Servant Ghostwriter Truth Be Told Toxic Labor ( Starring Oprah Winfrey ) Yes, I know it seems to have a great deal as compared to other major services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. but hold your thoughts – Apple has a very limited content for now yet exclusive ones. 

If you are looking for quality over quantity, give it a shot without any doubt. Otherwise, I would suggest you to with the trial one first. Apple has invested billions of dollars in a couple of years to create exclusive original content, and planning to increase the investment in future for sure. I’ve been using Netflix for a very long time, and Yes! they do have some amazing content with great quality. 

As per reports, Netflix spent $12 billion in 2018 which is expected to $15 billion in 2019. It’s a BIG investment!! Apple has been working on this project for a very long time to ensure all the pieces are aligned perfectly and standing as an example of supreme quality like their other products, at least that’s what they seem to be claimed.
