> Name me something a product, not a service which you can only subscribe in Apple's ecosystem.

The shows on Apple TV are only available via a subscription; there's no way to have a perpetual purchase (at least as far as that a la carte style of purchase is perpetual).

They specifically said “not a service” and you brought up a service.

  • I would argue a season or episode of television is a product, and Apple TV gates them behind a subscription.

    I used to buy the season passes so I could return to shows later; that's not an option for ATV stuff.
