But it also has perks for non-subscribers: it&rsquo;ll let you stream any movies or TV shows you&rsquo;ve purchased through iTunes in the past, too. You can also watch new purchases and rentals through the app, but you&rsquo;ll have to make those purchases through another device with iTunes on it. You can&rsquo;t do it straight from the TV.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bzamayo\/status\/1187721202443456512\">Benjamin Mayo<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote cite=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bzamayo\/status\/1187721202443456512\">\n<p>We are now in the timeline where Amazon doesn&rsquo;t let you buy Kindle books through the Kindle app on iOS because they don&rsquo;t want to give Apple 30% and Apple doesn&rsquo;t let you buy content through the TV app on the Amazon Fire TV because they don&rsquo;t want to give Amazon 30%.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Although there are probably also technical issues preventing Amazon from offering its whole Kindle catalog through In-App Purchase.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/27\/apples-services-event\/\">Apple&rsquo;s Services Event<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/03\/26\/apple-tv\/\">Apple TV+<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2019\/01\/07\/itunes-video-and-airplay-on-samsung-tvs\/\">iTunes Video and AirPlay on Samsung TVs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2018\/12\/05\/amazon-offering-apple-products\/\">Amazon Offering Apple Products<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/07\/amazon-prime-video-finally-available-for-apple-tv\/\">Amazon Prime Video Finally Available for Apple TV<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jacob Kastrenakes: With a week to go before its TV service launches, Apple has brought the Apple TV app to Amazon&rsquo;s streaming devices.
