In a few weeks, Apple TV Plus and Disney+ will be launched. Many details about the two rivals of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have been revealed lately. We take stock.

Netflix is ​​already well established, and sufficiently varied and rich today not to cancel. The other services are already in the running to share the rest of the cake.
