  • After Netflix, Disney Plus To End Password Sharing Outside Households Starting THIS Date: Details Here |

    New Delhi: Disney Plus is following in Netflix’s footsteps and will soon crack down on password sharing. This means that people will no longer be able to share their Disney Plus passwords with anyone outside their household. Disney CEO Bob Iger announced during an earnings call that starting this September, the company will strictly enforce these new rules to prevent password sharing, as per reports by The Verge.

    Password Sharing Rules Get Clearer

    Disney’s stance on password sharing has been unclear until now. In February, they hinted at a possible paid sharing model and started notifying users about upcoming changes. By June, they had introduced paid sharing in a few countries but hadn’t specified when it would come to the US. Now, Disney plans to extend paid sharing to more subscribers by September though they haven’t yet revealed how much it will cost.

    Following Netflix’s Strategy

    Disney’s strategy has been similar to Netflix’s which started paid sharing last year and charges an extra 7.99 dollars per month to add another user to an account. Even after the initial worries Netflix’s crackdown on password sharing has been mostly accepted by users. Disney CEO Bob Iger mentioned that Disney hasn’t faced any major backlash from users about the notifications and steps they’ve taken so far.

    Subscription Prices Going Up

    Along with cracking down on password sharing, Disney will also raise subscription prices for Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus starting in October. CEO Bob Iger is confident that these price increases won’t lead to a significant loss of subscribers. He highlighted that Disney plans to add more value with new content, like ABC News Live and curated playlists to justify the higher prices and strengthen their offering.

    The price hikes and crackdown on password sharing come after Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN Plus turned a profit for the first time this quarter. Disney is keen to keep this profitability by boosting revenue through paid sharing and higher subscription prices. By taking a similar approach to Netflix, Disney aims to reduce password sharing and ensure its streaming services continue to thrive financially.

  • Why Will Netflix Stop Working on Apple TV Models After July 31? Find Out the Reason Here |

    New Delhi: Netflix has informed its subscribers that it will no longer work on the second and third-generation Apple TV models. Netflix, a subscription-based streaming service, will not be available for these Apple TV models after July 31.  

    Netflix has taken this move to maintain the best possible Netflix experience, as per a report by MacRumors. However, these models came out more than a decade ago and do not have Apple’s App Store. Notably, the company also updated its support page. 

    The second and third-generation Apple TV models were announced in 2010 and 2012, respectively. It is important to note that the third-gen model had the A5 chip and supported Full HD streaming. The first three generations of Apple TVs are already considered “obsolete” by Apple.

    Apple considered these models “obsolete” when the tech giant discontinued service for hardware, which is seven years after it stopped selling a product. It is expected that the tvOS 18 will eventually drop support for the fourth-generation Apple TV HD as we approach WWDC 2024. 

    Earlier, Netflix stopped support for other old devices, including Samsung and Vizio smart TVs as well as first-generation Roku boxes in 2019. Netflix has announced that it will not develop a native app for the Apple Vision Pro headset and will also prevent users from running the iPad version of its app on the device. 

    The Apple Vision Pro boasts the ability to run millions of iPhone and iPad apps, but Netflix, along with other developers, is opting out. Consequently, users will need to access Netflix through the Safari web browser, similar to how it works on Macs.

    According to a statement made by Netflix in Bloomberg which states that “Our members will be able to enjoy Netflix on the web browser on the Vision Pro, similar to how our members can enjoy Netflix on Macs,”

    “In June, we’ll be launching our first real foray into password sharing. Just a few countries in a few markets, but then it will grow significantly with a full rollout in September,” Iger mentioned during the interview. The plan for implementing the crackdown involves two steps: Firstly, a launch in certain markets by June 2024, followed by a global expansion and full implementation by September 2024.

    “We feel great about the engagement of those Disney subs who are not getting Hulu who are now watching more programs that were on Hulu, including Shogun.. We have to increase engagement. We need the technological tools to lower churn, create more stickiness. It’s things like recommendation engines, getting to know our customers better,” Iger stated to CNBC.

    Furthermore, Iger disclosed that Disney intends to link user identities across multiple platforms such as Hulu, Disney+, ESPN, and cable. This integrated identity system is deemed crucial for implementing their forthcoming password-sharing limitations.

    CEO Bob Iger has ambitious goals for the streaming industry, including launching a separate ESPN streaming platform. He is also optimistic that Disney+ will become profitable by the end of 2024, and the introduction of paid account sharing could expedite this objective.
