Apple TV+ Is Coming To All Android Devices Through Amazon Prime Video As An Add-On Subscription Service
Apple TV+ might have a wide audience, but its lack of availability on the Android app limits its potential for expanding to an even wider market. Google, on the other hand, extends its iOS apps to improve the experience by making them more readily available. Now, with Apple TV+ coming to Prime Video, it will be a game changer, as millions of Android users will have access to the platform that they otherwise did not have, bringing more convenience and a streamlined service.
Apple TV+ is coming to Prime Video, making it easier for Android users to stream Apple content on their devices
Google’s apps are expansively available on iOS whether it is Google Maps or Google Photos, users can engage in a seamless experience as the company keeps on focusing on a multi-platform strategy. Apple’s presence on Android, on the other hand, is limited, and users have long been waiting for that to change as only a handful of its apps are available for Android users, with Apple TV+ specifically not accessible to those with Android devices.
What may have seemed like a missed opportunity on Apple’s end for a wider audience is now changing as the Cupertino tech giant is shifting towards extending Android support, marking a huge shift in their strategy. A new partnership is being formed between Apple and Amazon, and Amazon has announced that Apple TV+ will be made available on Prime Video by the end of this month. This will drastically make it easier for Apple TV+ content to be streamed on Android devices.
Apple TV+ would be offered as an add-on through Amazon Prime Video and available at $9.99 monthly. It would give users access to Apple TV+ content available on Apple’s dedicated apps on other platforms. Since Prime Video is available on almost all platforms, including Android, accessing the content would be much easier.
To access Apple TV+ through Prime Video, users need an active Amazon Prime membership, which might seem like an additional commitment for those who have not already subscribed to Prime. For users with subscriptions, however, it may be a great value addition, given the access to Apple TV+ without any additional apps. The integration is Prime’s strategy to be taken as an all-in-one platform, but some can find the requirement of Prime membership a roadblock.
Nevertheless, the Apple TV+ through Prime is a major development, especially for Android users. While no additional details are available, we can expect the add-on to be available later this month.
