Hot on the heels of Netflix and Amazon now comes word that Apple will be joining the crowd.
I don’t think that’s the right move for Apple.
Just like having Cupertino produce a full-fledged car from scratch up sound like just too much diversification producing movies and television series is better left to pros.
However, Apple excels at diverting content. And now Apple is teaming of with networking juggernaut Cisco for faster downloads and uploads for iPhones and iPads.
Here is the report from Digital Trends:
Following in the wake of Netflix’s success with original programming, sources within Apple have been reported to be reaching out to studio executives in regards to creating television shows and movies exclusively distributed by the Cupertino-based company.
Detailed by Variety earlier today, Apple wants to start hiring a development team before the end of the year and begin production as soon as early 2016. With more than $200 billion in cash reserves, Apple could also just purchase a production studio with a proven track record that would develop original content.
