The highly competitive segmented #StreamingWars will pick up this weekend as #AppleTV opens the #paywall and lets in anyone with an #AppleID see their #content for #FreeTrial for a couple daze.

Apple is proud of critically acclaimed series fare like #TedLasso and occasional exclusive TV windows for films like Emancipation, starring Will Smith which they paid over $100 million for. They produced Scorsese and DiCaprio's "Killers of the Flower Moon", but despite big bucks invested in content from name brand stars, less than 7% of US streaming service subscribers tune in, making them just 7th in the pack amongst services.

The Cupertino based behemoth has struggled to add subscribers at $9.99 per month ang lag far beyond the market leading #Netflix. To boost numbers #Apple recently began offering a bundled add on app subscription via #Amazon, sharing revenues to gain a presence within Jeff Bezos #AmazonPrime streaming plans like #ContentProvider studio rivals #HBOMax, #MGM & #Paramount already had.
