Apple and Disney launched their streaming service events at nearly the same time, but Disney had the roll-out and the product Apple should desire.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Last month, Apple launched its hotly awaited new TV service, Apple TV+. Notable celebrities took the stage, including Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston, Steven Spielberg, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carrell.
Then it was Disney's turn to debut its streaming service, Disney+, last week. Celebrities were lacking, but Disney showed actual video of shows and movies, including surefire mega-hits"Frozen 2," The Lion King remake, and"Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," which will all eventually join the subscription service.
Buying Disney would be an extreme action, as Disney would be buying a lot more than its streaming service. Apple would have to buy the theme park business, which took in more than $20 billion in revenue last year. It would have to buy ESPN and the traditional cable network business, the movie and TV production studio, and all the Fox assets for which Disney just paid $71.9 billion.
Adding Disney content would give Apple+ a much deeper library. It would eliminate the"too many streaming services" problem. It would help Disney reach Apple device users
