this is another distraction product from apple's core that took away resources, time and overall effort of maintain the base product at the expense of branching out and growth chasing.

i never understood TV+ and used to get it for a long time, until the latest price increase, as part of the apple one package. and we still never watched it. it seems there are some hard core fans of the limited content, but to me apple was always like 'disney' and disney already has a phenomenal family-wide content for relatively stupid cheap, why apple would think they can take that on was beyond me.

Yes Apple of the 2020s era seems to be trying to do EVERYTHING while also their scale means almost nothing moves the needle for them unless its huge.

I do not understand why they desire to have also-ran versions of Netflix, Spotify, Steam, Peloton, Kindle, etc. Maintaining what 5 segmented computing OSes - Mac, iPad, iOS, WatchOS, VisionOS..?

Continuing to flood each of their hardware lines with confusing overlap.. very 2010s Samsung to me.
