Apple’s long-awaited video streaming service will be called Apple TV Plus and include original programming that CEO Tim Cook says will show “great storytelling.”
The service will compete with Netflix and Amazon Video. Apple is unveiling it at an event Monday at its Cupertino, California headquarters.
Notably, Apple says all games in this service will allow unlimited play and will have no in-app purchases, which are common on mobile games. Though many mobile games are given out for free, players can rack up hundreds of dollars for optional extras such as virtual weapons. Google announced its own video game streaming service last week. That service focuses more on traditional video games, though it will also allow games to be played on phones and tabletsApple is launching its own credit card, called Apple Card, that can be used anywhere Apple Pay is accepted.
The card will live in the wallet section of the iPhone, though customers will also get a physical card made of titanium.
