“Apple TV Plus” is expected to compete against streaming giants Netflix Inc. and Walt Disney Co.

Each of the stars who took the stage spoke about their programs that the new platform will broadcast.

Winfrey said she is working on a documentary focusing on sexual harassment, beside other series about mental health.

It is remarkable that new monthly subscription services for Apple’s TV programming will be considered instead of just buying the company’s hardware products.
