Apple TV+: What We Want More Of From Apple
Now that almost every major network has its own streaming service, they’re each trying to make their mark. Apple made a huge announcement when it announced they had partnered with Major League Baseball for Friday Night Baseball. However, with enough money burning a hole in their deep pockets, It’s only a matter of time before they start throwing money around to spend on more content. If Apple is really investing in Apple TV+, here are some content ideas they should really make a push for:
NFL
Streaming has been taking over live sports. With the NFL’s partnership ending with DirecTV on their Sunday Ticket ending next year, the fan-favorite sport will be up for grabs but it won’t come easy. The NFL brings in big bucks and would instantly increase streaming subscribers. While each service will be all-in for the coveted sport, Apple TV+ needs to catch up to the competition. The NFL would make another perfect partner with one of the biggest leagues and biggest tech companies partnering for content.

Cooking
Apple seems to have shifted its focus to the health field lately. With Apple Watch and Apple Fitness+, there are plenty of ways their users can both monitor their health and stay active. They’ve even added daily meditations to help build mental health as well. The one part of the health and fitness equation that Apple is missing, is healthy eating programs. The one thing most people struggle with daily is their diets. There are plenty of ways to bring healthy lifestyles into diet and health with Apple TV+ but it’s up to Apple to do the legwork on something that might not necessarily be a big moneymaker itself but will help strengthen the need for their Fitness+ and Apple Watch.
Reality-TV
Not everyone enjoys reality tv, but it has its place on television. Some of the longer-lasting shows right now are reality tv and contests/gameshows. But Apple TV+ doesn’t just need any kind of reality tv, they could use their platform for good. Apple has its hands in almost everything entertainment-wise. They have connections to movies, tv, music, and books. If they really put their heads together, they can come up with a competition show about the next big thing in these fields. Why can’t they create a show where they find the next movie writer, next tv star, or next musician?

Coding
Apple made its mark in computing. While they have the means to teach coding currently, they really need to expand their reach. When it comes to their future, it’s important to keep people in the loop and creating apps. The more people create, the more success their app store has. Find ways to make it fun and entertaining for all ages to learn the basics to advanced coding. Technology is ever-growing so why not get more people involved in the field.
Programming for Apple TV+ is limited right now but it has so much room for growth. Will Apple open its pocketbook for more quality content?
