Reportedly, Apple also has been scrambling to lock in deals with networks like HBO, Starz, Showtime and CBS to offer other programming alongside its own originals. A report Saturday indicated that HBO was on board, after it previously had been reported as a possible holdout. With most of its originals still being made, Apple's strategy may start out as more of a storefront selling discounted bundles of other companies' streaming services. (Just not Netflix.)

(Note: CBS, which owns Showtime, is also the parent company of CNET.)
