Both video and news are part of an Apple push to build up its services chops, as sales of its all-important iPhone have begun to sputter. Apple has made headlines over the last year with eyebrow-raising deals for the rumored TV service, lining up big-name projects from Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, M. Night Shyamalan and Steven Spielberg, among many others. And the iPhone maker's spin on a "Spotify for news" has been expected since Apple bought news subscription aggregator Texture last year. 

The video service is expected to launch by the summer, according to a report by Bloomberg Wednesday, citing unnamed people familiar with the plan. Stars working with Apple on original programming -- including Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner and J.J. Abrams -- are invited to the March event.
