Michal Marek The first big news of today's keynote with the subtitle "Spring Forward" was presented on stage by Richard Plepler, executive director of the popular television station HBO. He announced that HBO will launch a new HBO Now service in April, for which Apple is (at least initially) an exclusive partner.
Users who want to use the service only need a stable Internet connection and an Apple device. HBO Now will be available on Apple TV, but also on iPhones and iPads, and for a subscription of less than $15, the user will get access to exclusive HBO content. Lovers of movies and series know that there is definitely something to stand for. In addition to Hollywood blockbusters and many popular series, HBO's repertoire also includes the cult Game of Thrones.
It is not yet clear whether the HBO Now service will also be available in the Czech Republic. The Czech representative office of HBO only confirmed that these are the activities of HBO US, which it will not comment on. So it's possible that we won't get HBO Now at least for now.
Apple TV has therefore received a big boost in terms of content. However, it is still waiting for its hardware upgrade. The 3rd generation Apple TV, a device introduced in 2012, will continue to be on sale. Apple's special "set-top box" has at least received a fairly significant discount and will be on sale from today at a price of 69 dollars, in the Czech Republic it is now available for 2 crowns (originally 190 crowns). An interesting statistic is worth noting that to date, Apple has sold over 25 million units of its Apple TV.
That means only one thing. A new Apple TV is coming
You might be the only one who believes that..:)
The new Apple TV will arrive when Apple puts content in iTunes in at least 1080p resolution. This current one is enough for 720p, which they have there now :-(
I wouldn't even say, rather they still have a lot of A5 CPUs and it will take a long time before they sell out. But this news about ATV is probably the only surprise of this KN. Unfortunately, the ATV has been working quite well for 3 years, but they don't care about that - they care about the profit and the profit from the ATV doesn't flow much = that's why INDY gets to modify it... :-).
Notice how long APPLE keeps things with their CPUs on sale - they are not stupid at all to sell xlet old stuff = the only place where innovation works are MACs and that's only because they simply buy CPUs from INTEL and the problem with stocks is less....
In other words, what would any other company give for such profits, but APPLE is already so fed up that it can't go on. I'm quite curious how people jump on their watches with Mickey Mouse... It's better to buy it for Malina - it works great too.
Considering the new prices of the MBP, I wish they would finally come up with that watch. That might be needed... Sometimes it has to come.
Buy what you don't have a problem with.. I bought APPLE until I felt on the same page with them.... If he does it like that every time, the boys will go to Haj with the billions.
From MAC, I'm already back on DELL and I'm going to use phones, but I'm afraid to go to MS solution for now.
Today's KN was a complete PR failure
It's on the appstore for 2190 :-/
69 dollars is converted to 1400 CZK? Not for a long time... The dollar costs almost 26 CZK... So about 1800... Plus taxes, duty... That typically adds up to about 30%... So we're at about 2350 CZK... Thanks to the exchange rate, a discount of about 450 CZK...
