Just over a month ago, rumor swirled that Apple had in mind to enter the scripted series game with Dr. Dre’s Vital Signs, but it seems will.i.am beat him to it. A new report suggests Apple will launch an unscripted series looking at the world of apps, led by will.i.am.
Every year Apple announces a new iPhone at a big keynote event. Sometimes it’s an incremental update, like the iPhone 6S announced last September. Other times, like this year when Apple will announce the iPhone 7, it’s a big leap forward in technology. While there have been many rumors around the upcoming iPhone 7 (including no more headphone jack and wireless charging), none will be as exciting to movie and TV fans as this news: Apple is expected to make their official foray into original programming when the iPhone 7 launches, competing with both Netflix and Amazon.
“The future of TV is apps.”
And with that Apple announced a long-awaited upgrade to its Apple TV unit including a touchpad remote, a new interface and its own dedicated App Store.
