The WSJ sources has disclosed, on the condition of anonymity, that Apple is currently in talks with a number of TV executives, for offering a “slimmed-down bundle of TV network this fall.” As per the sources, the cost of the TV bundle which Apple plans to offer will likely be between $30 and $40 per month.
