Disney CEO Bob Iger resigns from Apple’s Board of Director

CNN reports that Disney CEO Bob Iger has resigned from Apple’s Board of Directors as the two companies will be competing in the video streaming business.

With the upcoming Disney+ and AppleTV+, both companies will be streaming original TV shows and movies to subscribers. The former is priced at $6.99/month, and the latter $4.99/month (or free for a year if you buy a new Mac, iPhone, or iPad).

Iger had served on Apple’s board since November 2011. He was the chairman of the company’s governance committee and served on the compensation committee.
