      I know no one wants to hear this, but Netflix should change their model to renting.... Everyone may want subscription based monthly fees. but at what cost ? Content that's get removed in a shorter time frame than Apple.. still have 1999 movies still available in 2023? I still have "Tim Allen The Santa Clause" purchased with Apple today..That would be removed from Netflix by now.
      Hollywood hate the monthly model, All you gotta do is look at the pattern across all monthly services to see. Perhaps what could save them is "Netflix Original" content, That's how i think of this as.

    Apple has a fair number of problems to deal with in 2023 after struggling with engineering and logistics issues in 2022. Buying Netflix would be a major distraction and require a lot of management attention in a year where they need to execute on iPhones and Macs. I'd much rather see a 3nm transition than the addition of Netflix.

But now that China is finally getting its production act back together, the logistical issues should finally go away.

      That's because they're only interested in attracting new subscribers. Continuing to pay for shows after those shows are doing nothing to attract new subscribers (anyone who cared about them subscribed during the first season) doesn't make sense on a service that doesn't run advertisements. They'd rather cancel a show that's not attracting new subs and green light a show that might get new subs - hoping their existing subs remain subbed.

    Richard Plepler built prestige HBO, and already works for Apple TV+ indirectly.
    I suspect Apple has already considered shortcuts like buying Netflix or HBO Max, and came to the conclusion they need to build the service the hard and slow way to get the control over the business model they want.
    Neither Netflix or HBO Max have a business model that will work long-term. Spending $18b per year on original content and charging $10/mo was a zero-interest-rate phenomenon.

  • @iPedro

    The potential value to Apple from a Netflix acquisition would be in protecting tv+ image as a platform for curated high quality content while still providing viewers a large volume of content that people are demanding. Transfer original Netflix shows like Black Mirror and Stranger Things and potential spinoffs to tv+ and leave Netflix as a repository of licensed shows from pre-streaming eras. Netflix could be a lower end brand for Apple, like Beats is to AirPods. Having all of Netflix's content in the TV app would make it instantly useful without having to bring down the tv+ brand's positioning as high quality Apple originals.

The moment customers think about cost cutting, Netflix is first to go.

      I sub (other than Netflix and Amazon which is part of Prime) through Apple subscriptions in settings. (I use Apple TV and find it pretty easy to choose a streaming service there). What I prefer about it is that I can sub for a month or 2, unsub, choose another and sub--depends on what gets my attention. Being able to sub and unsub without having to go through their regular subbing via an app or online makes things much easier. Think that's why Apple TV was created though they evidently didn't reach an agreement with Netflix (which we've subbed to since it was DVDs in mailed red envelopes). I tend to watch Apple TV+ the most though don't watch any of them much to be truthful--watched Banshees of Inishirin on HBO Max the other night and found that worthwhile.

      I don’t think we should. The day of Netflix being king of streaming is over. As convient as it was, I have never found it that hard to just unsub from a single streaming service. Unlike Cable, which was a pain. Cost wise streaming was always gonna go up…making and licensing content cost money and the old days of one lump cost for Netflix giving you access to (nearly) everything was doomed to end.
      There’s plenty of streaming boxes for TVs that allow you to sync all your streaming accounts and search for programs in one place. But if I want to drop say HBOMax for a few months, I just log onto HBO Max online and unsub until they have something I want. Yeah it puts personal management of that on me, but better then cable charging me for 50 channels I don’t watch.

    I think you’re right Apple is trying to do something. My question is are they going into competition or setting up a mega buy with Disney? It’s a mega merger that makes sense. Disney has the IP and terrific properties that can make Apple’s next set of products (AR/VR). The big question is what they’re going to do with ESPN and if Apple wants that.
