(Michael Short/Getty Images)Apple is expected to invest many billions a year, according to analysts, on making video content to compete in a crowded market that includes Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and Disney. Apple Card requires Touch ID or some other form of authentication for payments to reduce fraud, and it said it won’t collect purchase data. Apple made the biggest splash with the announcement of its video streaming service, Apple TV+, in large part because it came with cameo onstage appearances from some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
