Apple's foray into streaming with Apple TV+ has been marked by significant financial losses, reportedly over $1 billion annually, due to the high costs of producing original content. Despite efforts to curb spending in 2024, the company only managed to reduce costs by $500,000, bringing the yearly expense down to $4.5 billion from the $5 billion spent since the service's inception in 2019.
Despite the financial strain, Apple TV+ has earned critical acclaim and a strong audience following for its high-quality programming. Shows like "Severance," "Silo," and "Foundation" are prime examples of the service's commitment to excellence, with "Severance" recently renewed for a third season following the conclusion of its second season. The show boasts an impressive 96% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, while "Silo" is close behind at 92%. Additionally, the upcoming series "The Studio," a Seth Rogen-led meta comedy that premiered at SXSW, has also received high praise, currently holding a 97% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. Other popular shows on the platform include "The Morning Show," "Ted Lasso," and "Shrinking."

The quality of Apple's programming is reflected in its reception, with "Severance" gaining a third season on the heels of its Season 2 finale. This critical acclaim underscores Apple's dedication to producing top-tier content, even if it comes at a steep price.
According to Deadline, Apple TV+ added another 2 million subscribers last month during the run of "Severance," suggesting that the company's investment in quality content might eventually yield positive returns. Moreover, with Apple's fiscal 2024 revenue reaching $391 billion, the company is well-positioned to sustain its current strategy in the streaming market for the foreseeable future.
