“There are abundance opportunities to reach the new audience, whether opportunistic tricks with large dramatic presentations or in achieving live sports.

“Whatever is changing is distribution and Apple is well deployed with its giant user base – however, it needs to do a better job to clarify its merit on rivals.”
