Yesterday in #podcastapple we commented a little above this news about the commitment that it has Apple in producing new series for users and to date we can confirm that they have more or less the same amount as HBO according to some specialized media.
The good thing about this is that if it's true the streaming series service will arrive in mid-2019 and with it, a lot of possibilities will open up in terms of visiting original Apple series. In this case, it must be clarified that all this will occur first in the United States and then the rest of the markets will expand, reaching about 100 countries around the world, but all this during the same year.
It also seems that all this would be free from the TV app
And it is that the first indications about this type of content speak of free streaming, hoping that this is the "placebo" effect to hook us to other services and subscribe. The truth is that it may sound very interesting and it could be a kind of Apple Music, we believe that all this content cannot be free forever, what they can do is offer a three-month subscription totally free and then make us checkout.
On the other hand, it is good to know that the content in each of the countries will be totally different and this may be another interesting point to take into account. Although all this sounds very good and we would love for it to be a free service as some experts are reporting, it remains to be seen what will really happen since everything is rumors right now. Everyone the signs suggest that streaming content will be free until the TV app is updated (end of 2019) and then it would become paid. You don't have to be very wise to say that Apple wants to make money, so offering this content for free would not be entirely productive for them. In any case we will see what finally happens and if the analyst Kirk Burgess, He was not wrong in his predictions on Twitter.
