November 2019 was a pivotal month for the streaming video industry, two big ones were already included: Apple and Disney. While Apple has yet to confirm the official figures, Disney's head, Bob Iger, has announced a number of subscribers, 28.6 million
The figure was acquired on December 31, 2019, so a month later, may have been transferred. When we compare that number to the most direct competition in the United States, we see how it has surpassed HBO Now and is within Netflix, its latest official statistic of 61 million subscribers.
Apple has not officially announced the official figures for its video streaming service, statistics that would not be real as it provides a year of experience for Apple TV + for all those users who buy an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV + or Mac.
Disney wanted to take advantage of the draw and enthusiasm of some Star Wars and Marvel fans offering multi-year subscriptions, lowering the price to $ 3.99. In addition, it provides free access to Verizon subscribers.
A few days ago, analyst Toni Sacconaghi sent a report to his investors, emphasizing that Apple's adoption rate is drastically reduced
However, some statistics suggest that Apple has about 33 million subscribers, although most, if not all, would use a one-year free promotion. Disney + is a significant profit segment and is not the rest of its catalog, however, Apple has a large base of potential subscribers, even though the catalog is still as fragile as it is today, still a few years away, until Apple TV + considers itself a Disney + -HBO Now.
Disney + Spain
Just over a week ago, Disney announced that awaiting the release date of Disney + Europe, from March 31 to 24 of the same month. So far nor do we know the catalog that will be available in our country, because the alternative video streaming services available in Spain, currently own the rights to certain American movies and movies.
As licensing agreements are terminated, all titles have a Disney seal will only be available once and for all in its video streaming service, but this, is still a few years away.
