the US firm has committed $1bn (£754m) to acquire and produce further content over the coming months, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.

These developments have fuelled speculation that the company is preparing to launch a video subscription service to rival Netflix and Amazon Video, with original content, after failing to convince the US networks to let it sell bundles of their programming.

Apple is not the only US tech giant investing in the TV industry.

Facebook launched its Watch service in the US in August, offering cookery, fitness and travel-themed programmes among other content.

Twitter is developing news programming in conjunction with Bloomberg and Buzzfeed, and has also acquired streaming rights to several sports events.

Google continues to invest in its YouTube Red service, which produces ad-free films and shows for subscribers.

In other news, netflix is upping their game.

The company says it will spend $7.8 billion on developing original content this financial year and a further $1.3 billion on the tech side of things.

Part of that is a recently announced partnership with Dolby Laboratories to produce flagship content capable of being played in the company’s stellar high-dynamic range video format, Dolby Vision, as well as being mixed in Dolby Atmos, a multidimensional surround-sound technique that is object-based, rather than channel-based. Essentially, it’s about as good as TV can look and sound.

Dolby’s twin technologies are revolutionising the home theatre experience and the streaming giant believes adding the immersive Dolby Atmos surround sound format to its repertoire gives it a serious edge against rivals.

Netflix also hopes the partnership with Dolby will help it attract big-name directors and writers to the platform by promising new tools to enhance creative story telling.
