On October 14, Apple’s SVP of services, Eddy Cue, detailed some of Apple’s media strategy on a podcast, and he’s been touring since. His repeated comment is that the way sports are being handled by broadcasters today is broken, and Apple wants to do things differently.
According to a report from CNBC, Apple is on the verge of announcing a $140 million per year media rights deal with F1. Cue spoke about how Apple has approached sports and why things are so broken for sports fans today.
