News about the Apple Original Productions they come out every day in larger and larger volumes, but no one still has a clear view of how Ma will make the distribution of that amount of horseback content. Now the CNBC came up with a story that may give us some clues on the subject.

Citing sources familiar with Apple's plans, the company says the company is planning a renewal of its application. TV, which would become the epicenter of his audiovisual content experience not only with original series, but also with the programming of other audiovisual services. streaming. In other words, you would have access to Apple programs in the same environment and, by paying their subscriptions, access to series of services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu and HBO Go (all depend on Apple's agreements with these companies, clear).
