Apple TV+ May Soon Move Beyond ‘Apple Originals’ By Jesse Hollington A special thanks to iDropNews for republishing permission. Images provided by iDropNews. Be sure to visit them at idropnews.com When Apple TV+ debuted in 2019, it was unique among streaming services. Instead of offering a library of licensed content from other networks and studios, Apple set out to build its streaming empire solely on “original” content It was a novel idea, and while not everything Apple produced was an Apple original by the strictest definition of the word — it picked up already-produced documentaries from film festivals and purchased rights to build on existing franchises like Peanuts — everything that aired on Apple TV+ was still released under Apple’s banner. However, that may soon change if a new Bloomberg report is accurate. Apple licensed a small collection of 50 movies early this year, with a list that ran from The Accountant to Zoolander and included classics like Titanic and Saving Private Ryan. While some of these had obvious tie-ins to Apple Original content, there didn’t seem to be any discernible pattern.
