Apple’s Unconventional Content Bundle, What Does Apple TV+ Success Look Like?, Apple Goes Through Initial iPhone Launch Supply

Today's Above Avalon daily update includes the following stories:

  • Apple’s Unconventional Content Bundle

  • What Does Apple TV+ Success Look Like?

  • Apple Goes Through Initial iPhone Launch Supply

We begin today’s email with Apple and bundling. We discuss why I think Apple is selling an unconventional bundle when looking at its new content distribution services. The email then turns to where I think Apple may take Apple TV+ in the next few years and why success for Apple TV+ will look different than what consensus is assuming. We conclude with Apple running out of its flagship iPhone launch supply and what the development tells us about iPhone unit sales.
