Apple TV+ Now Available on Prime Video; Android Customers Can Finally Stream on Mobile
Apple TV+ is an originals-first streaming service with titles in a huge range of genres.
Customers of the Amazon Prime and Prime Video services now have a new option to add to their account. Prime Video has incorporated Apple TV+ into the list of streaming services its subscribers can add to their accounts for an extra subscription fee, joining other streamers like BET+, NBA League Pass, Paramount+, the MGM+ App, and many more.
Key Details:
- Apple TV+ costs $10 per month after a seven-day free trial.
- News of Apple TV+ joining Prime Video only broke last week.
- The move can help Apple increase the reach of its streaming service.
Apple and Amazon moved quickly to get Apple TV+ into the Prime Video digital store. The news that the two companies were working on such a partnership only began to circulate last week.
As it does when you’re subscribing to it as a standalone service, Apple TV+ comes with a seven-day free trial when you add it as a Prime Video subscription. Once the trial is complete, it will cost $10 per month to keep your access to Apple TV+ content moving forward.
Viewers who want to sign up for Apple TV+ through Prime Video can follow this link, or simply search for an Apple TV+ title like “Ted Lasso,” “Slow Horses” or its latest buzzy series “Disclaimer.” After that, it’s easy to sign up for Apple TV+ to watch them.
The inclusion of Apple TV+ in the Prime Video subscriptions section means that customers who use Android phones and tablets have another way to watch content from the streamer. Android mobile devices still don’t have access to an Apple TV app, but watching through Prime Video will grant them access to the full Apple TV+ library, since they’ll still be watching titles within the Prime Video interface.
The move to add Apple TV+ to Prime Video could help Apple expand the reach of the service. The company is notoriously unwilling to share concrete subscriber numbers for Apple TV+, but it’s still believed to be around 40-50 million customers. Distribution on Prime Video could help; according to Nielsen, viewers watched Prime Video more often than any streamers besides Netflix and YouTube in August.
