The MacVoices Live! team of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Web Bixby, Jeff Gamet, Jim Rea, and Marty Jencius have in-depth discussions about Netflix increasing their prices following recent high-profile streaming successes. How does their value proposition stack up against other option? Then, another statement that Goldman Sachs wants to terminate their Apple Card relationship sparks commentary from the panel.
