Apple TV+ six months later: How does Apple's streaming service hold up?

<p>Last spring, Apple officially took the wraps off the service we all knew was coming: Apple TV+ (https://www.macworld.com/article/3433936/apple-tv-plus-faq.html). The premium streaming service clearly had designs on competing with Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and the rest of an increasingly crowded market. The first handful of shows were available on November 1, 2019, and a new show or movie has been released every few weeks since then.</p><p>So how is Apple doing? Half a year in, is Apple TV+ a must-have streaming service, or can you ignore it without missing much? So far, Apple has landed somewhere in-between. If we were giving Apple a letter grade, it would get a “C” with a special teacher’s note: “shows potential.” Apple is doing as well with overall content quality as any of its competitors, has expanded the TV app to more devices, and is priced competitively at $4.99 a month. But content volume is severely lacking, and the service hasn’t found it’s break-out hit yet.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3543990/apple-tv-six-months-later-how-does-apples-streaming-service-hold-up.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
