Apple made headlines this week when it sent out media invites to an event on March 25, where it's widely expected to unveil its long-rumored video service and a news subscription platform.

The impending expansion of Apple's digital services is critical for the company is looks to boost revenue in other business areas to counteract slowing iPhone sales. The company said in its earnings report from January that iPhone sales had plummeted by 15% during the holiday quarter, and only about 16% of iPhones currently in use are expected to be upgraded to new models this year, according to a note from Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi published last month.
