contrary to many forecasts, on WWDC this year we have not seen any new model of Apple TV, or an update for the old. There were hopes for the launch of its own service broadcast channelsBut we have received only Apple Music. Most likely, the delay was solely due to lack of agreements between the TV and Apple. But by this fall, contracts can be fully agreed upon and we will wait for the next high-profile announcements.
According to the source New York PostFor the sake of a new service Apple Tim Cook personally negotiating with the owners of such channels like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. The main problem in the negotiations serves the percentage of profits from subscriptions. As always, Apple wants its 30% gain, is charged by the third-party products within the company's ecosystem. Big brands such transaction are not satisfied, taking into account also a wish Apple «hang» on TV expenditure on the technical part of the translation - the payment server.
The first to agree to such conditions can the CBS and Disney, as well as some sports channels, for example, ESPN.
Despite the lack of agreements already discussed at a subscription price of the new service. According to rumors, it can range from $ 10 to $ 40. Perhaps there will be free functions as Apple Music. If TV companies still fail to agree, the new service will be launched in the autumn, as there are no other obstacles for that.
