Apple facing some backlash for crushing it at their last
event and the streaming bundle gets bigger.
This guy Rich Jammu here with your rich on tech
segment.
Hey, good morning to you guys.
I'm not sure if you remember this concept of cable
TV.
You'd pay 1 price and get all of these things
bundled in.
Thankfully that's gone away. Now to this story.
Disney and Warner Brothers teaming up.
That was sarcasm ladies and gentlemen.
A new streaming bundle that includes Disney Plus,
Hulu and Max. This seems to be the first time
2 rival streaming services are teaming up to offer a
package deal.
The bundle will come in both ad free and AD
supported options.
Although the exact launch date and pricing isn't known just
yet,
the company say it will launch this summer.
Now the move comes as prices for streaming services continue
to creep up.
And on the one hand,
a single bill makes it easier to manage multiple subscriptions.
On the other hand, it's tougher to leave because if
you cancel 1 bundle,
a lot goes away. OK,
here's my question. As someone who has all three of
those things,
would it be cost, if you don't know this probably
yet,
no. We don't know the pricing.
But yeah, the price is going to be cheaper than
individually subscribing
at 1st and then every month it'll just kind of,
you know, creep up the general.
They should call them creeping services instead of streaming services.
Google has announced a new smartphone ahead of its big
event next week called IO.
The Google Pixel 8A is just
$500 and you get a lot for your money.
The phone has a 6.1 inch screen and Pixels are
known for their excellent point and shoot cameras.
The device also has wireless charging,
water and dust resistance, plus many of Google's famous AI
features like the Magic Eraser.
One key feature to know it will get software updates
for seven years.
If you like to keep your phone for a long
time,
this is an incredible value.
The Pixel A A is available May 14th.
People and creative types in general are not very happy
with Apple right now.
This after they showed a particular video clip at their
last event for the iPad.
The clip, which was then made into an ad,
is called Crush. It shows various art supplies and creative
tools including paint,
guitars, cameras, records and turntables,
instruments, sculptures, a writing desk and more,
all being crushed by a giant hydraulic press and when
it's finished,
outcomes an iPad Pro. Many find the ad to be
in poor taste because it disrespects creators and their tools
and paints a picture of a brave new world where
one soulless screen is our everything.
All right richontech.tv if you want more information on anything
I mentioned here.
When I first saw that crush during the event,
I said wow, that's wild like this.
Just the idea of how they made it.
The backlash then ensued. So
people really found it disrespectful to their creative process.
Yeah, because they're we're we're already seeing AI take over
jobs and AI take over the creative aspects of a
lot of people's,
you know, livelihoods. And so for Apple,
who is kind of in charge of all these creative
devices to do that and say,
look, we're crushing your guitar,
your record player, your instruments,
all this stuff. All you need is an iPad.
Make do well it. It rubbed people the wrong way.
Thank you, Rich. Got it.
