'Apple Prime' subscription bundle needed to maintain Services growth: analyst
The Apple iPhone X
In order to maintain “mid to high double-digit growth,” the analysts believe Apple needs to launch some sort of ‘Apple Prime’ subscription. In fact, the expectation is that such a service will be launched later this spring or throughout the summer period. If it does not, the business's growth could slow drastically.
In addition to this, Apple is rumored to be preparing a news subscription. This isn’t expected to arrive until later this year but could eventually be included in the bundle too.
There’s also a possibility Apple will launch some kind of podcast subscription in the future, although there's little information on the matter at the moment.
Apple itself did recently tease some new health-related services too. These, however, probably won’t be bundled in with the ‘Apple Prime’ subscription plan if launched. After all, the subscription is expected to focus primarily on media content.
