It’s been a while since Apple is betting on experiences as its new star product. The hardware in terms of delivering sensations. And football and the association with the most important club in the world: the Real Madridis perhaps the step that those from Cupertino were missing.
Because the company Tim Cook is seeking to provide a premium level of satisfaction with the infinite Santiago Bernabéu: an idea by Florentino Pérez so that all those who will never have the opportunity to go to the merengue venue in person can live the immersive experience through some Apple Vision Pro.
And this is justified above all by a real problem that the Spanish cast has: the high demand for tickets, the resales of season tickets and the difficulties in getting a ticket.
«It is a problem. Everyone wants to come to the Santiago Bernabéu and that is why we are negotiating with Apple about being able to put on glasses and see the game as if you were in the stadium, it would be the infinite Santiago Bernebéu,” Florentino said in a members’ assembly.
It is Infinite Bernabéu would have no entry limitsince anyone with a suitable device could watch it from home, offering a visual and sound experience very similar to what we would have in the stadium.
Some small winks for its realization: Tim Cook’s visit in 2023 to the Merengue sports city and now Apple TV+ shows sporting events and there is even a documentary about Real Madrid.
