Uh what? In what way would Spotify and Netflix be scared of this disruption?
Apple is a content producer now too and has much deeper pockets than their competition.
Why would the competition want people to buy into another cutting edge Apple product when they may want to develop their own solution to view their programming?
Your argument doesn’t make any sense. Spotify isn’t going to produce an AR headset and really doubt Netflix will either. It makes more sense for them to release apps for the device if they think it’s going to be successful.
You understand competitor right? They are content competitors, not hardware.
That’s my point. If they believe the hardware will be successful they would want to release apps for it that give them the ability to capture and retain customers. As it stands Apple headset users can only really consume Apple content. So it’s much more likely they just don’t believe in the product not that they’re scared.
You know they don’t need to develop custom apps right? They’ve even specifically disallowed their iPad app to run. That’s the action of a scared company.
No… that’s the decision of company who doesn’t want to invest in a new platform. They’d rather disable the app than support the users there.
