Matthew Panzarino:
Some very smart people I’ve been talking to suggest that, by building a platform, Apple is generating leverage that it can use to great effect in these negotiations. A mid-market breakout box offering is one thing, but a huge, rumbling platform with an upward trajectory of living-room dominating apps and third-party content is another beast. If, obviously if, Apple is successful with the Apple TV, it could be in a position to dominate content in a way that no other ‘smart’ TV platform has before it.
If Apple did indeed ‘delay’ the Apple TV from being released at WWDC, then it probably had a reason. And, if my sources are correct, that reason could well be polish, polish, polish. The experience of using it is said to blow away the types of junky smart TV interfaces we’ve had to deal with so far. This is the first real Apple TV product.
Panzer potwierdza nie tylko wcześniejsze plotki, ale również dorzuca kilka nowych informacji. Jeśli Apple rzeczywiście będzie walczył o dominację naszych telewizorów, to jestem jak najbardziej za – obecne propozycje nie mają nic wspólnego ze słowem „smart”.
