Apple TV+ has its flaws. So did Netflix on day one.



But this isn't a critique of Apple TV; this is a critique of Apple TV.


Right. Let me see if I got this right- Apple TV is on first, Apple TV is on second, Apple TV is on third, and AppleTV+ is pitching.

I know you’re being downvoted because your comment is based on the content not the name, but on the name thing, Netflix actually tried to spin their DVD business to be called ‘Qwikster’, but I think people got angry for some reason(?) so they kept the Netflix name for both. So that was maybe a bit confusing for a while.


Netflix also existed in a radically different market and set of competitors with wildly different consumer expectations.

This is a weird comparison. Apple TV+ isn't competing with Netflix day one, it's competing with Netflix today.


Please don't mind it but you username kind of matches the original post!
