Apple's Arcade games service is now available .. Will it succeed?


Apple's Arcade streaming service is now available to give users early access to the gaming service three days before its official launch on September 19, but this service is entering a crowded market full of subscriptions.

 


As of September 16, users of the public beta of the iOS 13 operating system can sign up for a month's free subscription.


The service was first announced in March and costs $ 5 a month and is available for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and Apple TV.


To date, the company has announced the availability of 54 games for this service, with 100 to be supported by the end of this year.


The service will be officially launched on Thursday in more than 150 countries, when the official version of iOS 13 will also be launched.


The 100 games that will be in service will range from "child-friendly" to "best for adults", and the company says it will not cost users extra money after downloading them, covering a wide variety of games and play styles "so everyone can find the games they love. ".


Apple's entry into subscriptions is not surprising, as it currently earns about 20% of its profits from services.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said last year that although the company had made its name from the sale of products - iPhone, iPad, Mac and AirPods - these new services would become the next big thing for the company.

What is Apple betting on the success of its service?
When it comes to gaming, Apple says it plans to offer something different.


Currently, competing services have plenty of classic games to win subscribers, but Apple has taken the unusual step of pushing developers to create more than 100 exclusive games for Apple Arcade, and using its money to fund these games shows how the company wants to move forward with this business model. Subscriptions.


In addition to funding the development of exclusive games for its service, Apple focuses on its new family-based service unlike other subscription services, allowing up to six family members to play ad-free games on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV offline. .


In addition, Apple has decided to stay away from the nostalgia of other subscription services and focus on new original content, for example, Netflix shows old series popular as the series "Friends".


Game services prefer to offer classic games flirting with the past, such as Assassin's Creed, which allows players to roam in ancient Egypt, medieval Italy or colonial America.


In contrast, Apple is betting on the new, in the services "Apple TV Plus" and Apple Arcade "The company depends on the original offers and games.

For these reasons, the iPhone 11 didn't come with 5G


While other smartphone manufacturers are racing to support 5G connections. Apple has chosen to wait for reasonable commercial and Apple-specific reasons. 

 


Mashabel's technology website explains that 5G connections are currently not well established, and U.S.-compatible 5G chips ready for launch in the fall are the Qualcomm X50 chipset found in all existing 5G phones, but they don't work the way Apple wants its devices to work.


This chip is incompatible with upcoming multicast networks and appears to make devices hotter in the summer. The antenna units of the first 5G networks are unstable at best, according to the site.


Apple could go ahead like many other handset makers and introduce only the mid-range iPhone 5G, which would be widely usable in Europe and China, but only work on the US-based Sprint network.

On the other hand, Apple will not be satisfied with the companies "AT & T" and Verizon, or their subscribers, and since the United States is the main market for Apple, you want to get everyone satisfied.

Long-term judicial battles


The other reason is that all 5G chips come from Qualcomm, which Apple has just reached a settlement with after long-term legal battles, and agreed to a six-year agreement that guarantees its approval to buy Qualcomm modems again for many years to come.


But this agreement came too late for the iPhone 11, so Apple continued to use the latest generation of 4G modems produced by Intel before the latter abandoned the business of modems 5G, and Apple hired most of Intel employees.

Why didn't Apple make their own modems like their phone processors?


Certainly, the company intends to do so, but a few years from now. According to Mashabeel, it has in the meantime concluded a supply agreement with Qualcomm. Observers generally expect to see Apple's 5G modems starting in 2022 or 2023.


Analyst Patrick Moorhead predicts that Apple's failure to introduce iPhone 5G will cause its sales to decline in China, but this will fade in late 2022, as Qualcomm is likely to introduce the next generation of modems that will support short and long-range networks for all US carriers.


At this stage, Apple will join the wave of 5G, and will come out with a new iPhone announces that it is the first good 5G phone ever, and includes the latest technology of Qualcomm, according to the report imagined Mashabel site.
