“” F1 “is an extremely important movie for Apple and for the industry as a whole,” said Paul Dergorobedian, senior media -analist Comscore. “This is an ideal test case for how streaming service can develop a movie that is back for us for a big screen, while promoting the movie on millions of small screens that their technological trail puts just before their subscribers.”

“F1” gained great benefit from partnership with IMAX. Before the production of Apple and The Film Top Treapers, they addressed not only the use of IMAX camera technology, but also a three -week issue in their theaters.

“We started doing this business because they thought it would be a good business,” said Apple Services Eddy Cue A recent Bloomberg interview. “And in order to continue doing big things, you need a business to make them profitable.”

Apple gained impetus in the pop -culture space as “Ted Laso”, “Serven” and “The Studio” and became the first stretch that won the “Best Painting” award on “Coda” Oscars 2021.
