Is Apple TV+ About to Crash the Netflix and Disney Party?
They say that you only get one chance to make a first impression in the world of streaming services. Disney (NYSE: DIS) hit it out of the park with a strong back catalog of iconic content, and The Mandalorian turning heads, with the launch of Disney+ late last year. The premium platform has gone on to top 60 million subscribers worldwide. In the other corner, we have Quibi, a flop after shelling out big bucks for Super Bowl ads and celebrity-backed content.
It's widely assumed that Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is going to stay on top for at least a few more years (if not longer), but Disney is closing the gap despite being around for all of 11 months. This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but what if Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is the next big thing? Yes, Apple TV+ launched a few days before Disney+, and like anything that isn't Disney+, it failed to hit the ground running. But it's the home of a new cult hit series in Ted Lasso, and is now taking over the next three months of your family traditions as the exclusive home of the iconic Charlie Brown holiday specials, so you're probably going to give Apple a second chance.
