214: Why Apple is putting iTunes on Samsung TV — Wait, what?!
Categories:
Here’s a question: Will Samsung phones get AirPlay 2 now as well?
Now, all of this may come as a bit of a surprise. But it shouldn’t really. Apple is getting ready to ramp up its original TV content. The video version of Apple Music. And Apple Music has always been available on Android and has recently been made available on Amazon Echo as well.
Which, yeah, was another head scratcher if not full on pea-soup spitting spinner as well.
But, in light of the saturationing, which is what I’m gonna keep calling the maturing of the smartphone market, Apple isn’t just about making the iPhone more and more valuable through more and more exclusive content any more. It’s about getting value from that content beyond iPhone exclusivity.
That’s always included Apple Music and now it looks like it’s going to include Apple video as well, and, who knows, maybe Apple’s new Texture-based Magazine and News service at some point.
Could it include iMessage and FaceTime? Hit play and let's talk it all through!
