Amazon is adding Apple TV Plus to Prime Video, a move that could help bolster the iPhone maker’s languishing streaming service. Apple TV Plus will be available on Prime Video in the US later this month<\/a> as a $9.99 monthly add-on — the same you’d otherwise pay directly to Apple. The difference now is that Apple TV Plus is being promoted directly to Amazon’s massive video subscriber base.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

For Amazon, Apple TV Plus joins over 100 streaming service add-ons already available through Prime Video Channels. It’s all part of the company’s plan to become a global “first-stop entertainment hub” according to Hopkins, a goal that Apple once had for Apple TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

“We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior VP of services, in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

I wonder whether Apple will allow this within the Prime Video app on Apple TV or whether you’ll still have to use the TV app there.<\/p>\n\n

Benjamin Mayo<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apple TV+ as a channel inside Amazon Prime Video is perfectly fine and sensible for Apple TV+, but it speaks volumes about how Prime Video is eating the TV app’s lunch as a streaming all-in-one aggregator.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
