Apple TV Plus Faces Financial Challenges

Apple TV Plus is celebrating the season finale of the acclaimed series Severance, but the streaming service is struggling financially, losing approximately one billion dollars annually. Despite achieving critical acclaim with Emmy-winning shows like Ted Lasso and The Morning Show, Apple TV Plus constitutes only 1% of the overall streaming market, reflecting its struggle to attract subscribers. Apple's high spending on content, which costs around $5 billion per year, along with several missteps, such as restricting access to Apple devices only and high hardware prices, contribute to its financial woes. To establish a more profitable service, Apple must adopt a growth-oriented mindset and expand its subscriber base.
