How are they going to have battle scenes where everyone's blind? They're doing so many thing in that trailer that seem impossible for fully blind people unless they have Daredevil sonar.
The show has such a high production value but it strains believability.

That’s genuinely surprising. And including 1 year for free with a new device is straight up insane.

lol Apple thinks they're really sticking it to Disney with the earlier release date and lower price but they still don't comprehend the advantage Disney has in 70 years of content vs. "lol blind aquaman"

...how so? Netflix is $8.99 a month and includes a hell of a lot more content than this will at launch.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I would spend $4.99 to check it out if they did.

yeah this is like prime video having millions of subscribers because they get it for free with their prime sub. it's actually really smart and a great way to leverage their huge device market into other content deals

They won't have poo poo at the start so makes sense. No one would have paid more for a barren service.

Comparing apple products to "the best selling laptop" which is inevitably some lovely $200 walmart special that has been sold continuously for 6 years gives me... no information at all.

I never understood the appeal of iPads. It always felt awkward to use to me and I'd always much rather use my phone or a laptop.

That's it? Did they at least negotiate for some existing movies or TV shows to be on it? Or are you subscribing for 4 shows on launch?
