A major report from Variety sheds light on Apple’s ambitious plans to reshape its streaming future with the upcoming F1 film.
With its subscriber numbers and strategy shrouded in mystery — a point of frustration for investors — Apple’s leadership sees 2025 as a pivotal year for its creative ventures.
Unhindered by past strikes or pandemics, the company aims to deliver a mass-appeal yet premium product, staying true to Steve Jobs’ legacy of forging its own path. While Netflix shuns theatrical releases, Apple, under Tim Cook, is betting big on an extravagant marketing push for F1, positioning itself as a potential savior of cinemas.
The film promises a cutting-edge visual experience, with up to 28 state-of-the-art cameras capturing the high-octane world of Formula 1 during key races. Producer Lewis Hamilton notes that the sport has never been authentically portrayed on screen before, and Apple’s approach aims for unmatched realism.
Cook views this blockbuster as a test of Apple’s cultural influence through soft power, beyond its tech dominance. The goal? Inspire viewers to dream of becoming racers — and ideally, secure F1 broadcasting rights for Apple in the long run.
