According to Bloomberg, Apple will be launching its video streaming and news services at the event. Apple has invested roughly $1 billion in producing original content for its Netflix-style streaming service with at least 25 original shows such as dramas, comedies, docuseries and kids' programming in the works. The company has reportedly already invited a few celebrities from some of the series it's working on, including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner and director J.J. Abrams, to attend.
Apple's news service would also be a premium subscription plan on its current News app that would allow users to view content from different publishers. The New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal are just some of the major news outlets rumored to be in talks with Apple to be part of this service. But according to a Wall Street Journal report out this week, that deal is still up in the air. The holdup seems to be Apple's cut for providing the platform. The report says publishers are hesitant to sign on because Apple would take 50 percent of the revenue from the service.
