We don't know which rights packages will be on offer but I would expect Apple to be competing against Amazon for a smaller one and not BT and Sky for the larger packages. The Premier League would not sell the rights to one player as the excerpt you have quoted suggests is a possibility.

The report wasn’t suggesting that Apple could mop up all the rights to the Premier League, but it did suggest it could go for one of the major rights, which might include rights currently held by Sky.
How much of that was speculation is difficult to say, but I expect more on this will come out before long.
