Rumors surrounding a supposed new video platform have been circulating for months, an expectation that has only been reinforced by the press invitation: a GIF showing a classic movie camera counter, followed by the phrase Its show time. .

The conference will be available on Apple's official events page: https://www.apple/apple-events/livestream/. You can watch streaming from your computer (Windows, Mac, or Linux), Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch as long as they meet the following requirements:

- Other devices: On other devices, you can follow the event through the company's official Twitter (@apple).
Rumors point that Apple should be betting on a format similar to that adopted by Netflix and Amazon Prime, with a collection that includes both licensed movies and series as well as own production material. The release date and the countries in which the service is available are still a mystery. There is talk of arrival already in May 2019, or only in 2020.
According to The Information portal, the company would also be ready to announce a new news subscription service in partnership with world-renowned vehicles such as the Wall Stret Journal. Behind the scenes, it is said that the initiative was intended to combat fake news by following in the footsteps of iTunes, which slammed headlong into the music industry in the early 2000s.
