I think if Apple TV+ is $9.99/month for five shows with no other way to get it, it’ll be more or less DOA. Even if they’re great shows. People will look for reasons not to subscribe.

But I also don’t think Apple will do that. I think Apple will have it also available in a bundle (Apple+?) with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, and more iCloud storage. I think a lot of people are going to get it that way, because it will be priced in such a way where it’s an attractive bundle even if you don’t care about every single service. And then once people have Apple TV+, they’ll be more willing to try the shows and they’ll get more into it. Sort of like how Prime Video got in the door alongside Amazon Prime.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong
