From what i see on this thread, the English people are so traumatised by sky and their pricing that they aren’t able to think straight when they see something that could be an alternative to sky
But if apple is the exclusive provider, then just like sky, they will have no competition and hence price it at whatever they want(exactly what sky does now). That is what everybody is pointing out to you and the other British folk

That’s what apple are considering offering. That doesn’t mean Liberty would bin F1TV.
Advertisers want more eyeballs on their branding, not fewer
