The Apple spring event has been much along expected lines given that it was focussed almost entirely on launching new services. That includes the new Apple TV+, Apple News+ as well as the world’s first gaming subscription service in the form of Apple Arcade.
Also, it does not mean Apple didn’t have new surprises up its sleeve. For instance, company announced the Apple Card which in reality is a credit card which Apple claims to bring a generational change to the way people have dealt with credit cards ever since its inception several decades back.

Also, with such emphasis on services, Apple’s intentions are clear too; that of having a separate services segment which it hopes will serve as a robust revenue stream. This again should help the company mitigate much of the revenue drop incurred post the decrease in sales of iPhone and iPad devices.
However, with the millions of these entertainment devices still getting sold each year, the company is confident there will never be any dearth of a platform to fuel its services segment. Here is a sneak peek of all that the company announced during its March 25 event.

The News+ service kicks off in May and will be available free for the first month.
Apple Pay:
The highlight here is Apple’s foray in the credit card segment with the new Apple card. And coming as it does from Apple, the card couldn’t have been more innovative or beautiful either. Carved entirely out of titanium, the new Apple card is also unlike any other of its ilk. That’s for the simple reason that the card just carries the name and a chip along with the Apple logo. There is none of the usual stuff found on credit cards such as the CVV, expiration date and such.

Apple said the service is going to start this fall, which is also likely when the company will be coming up with the subscription rates as well. Major takeaway from all Apple services are, privacy, ads free and family sharing but we do not know these are enough to lure the loyal Apple customer to buy it as everyone is loaded with tons of other services like Amazon Prime, Netflix etc.
