BIG day today for a Certain Subscription Service we’re all familiar with... Sounds more like a Movement if you ask me !!!
If Only Pixelmags could be a small part of the Story... or a Story like it ... we’d be $et !!!
There is a much more significant shift taking place at Apple, which is that it is likely transitioning away from one-time sales of specific hardware and services and toward an all-encompassing subscription model not unlike Amazon Prime.
• In an Apple Prime scenario, Apple would charge subscribers a single monthly fee that would give them access to free hardware upgrades (new iPhone, new Apple Watch, etc.) as well as the full slate of Apple services, including iCloud storage, Apple Music, Apple TV, etc.
• Rather than paying, say, $699 for a new iPhone, $199 for Apple TV, plus $2.99 a month for iCloud storage, plus $9.99 for Apple Music, plus $4.99 for Apple TV+, then having to pay $699 again two or three years later for a new iPhone, you'd pay one set monthly price and get all of these things.
• For the consumer, the subscription would provide everything Apple has to offer at a discount. For Apple, it would give them an even more entrenched consumer base while freeing them from their overreliance on iPhone sales.
How sweet it would be to be a Part of a Subscription Movement like this one...
One can only Dream I guess !!!
Pixelmags +???
