Apple TV+: Apple’s New Streaming Subscription Service

Having already made a mark in the mobile industry with their high-tech, out of the box technology-sound mobile phones, and in the music industry with Apple music, Apple is all set to enter the streaming TV market with their Apple TV+ subscriptions.

Just like Amazon Prime and Netflix Apple has a string of original TV series available for live streaming as well as download.

Before discussing the future prospects let us have a look at what exactly apple TV is.

What is Apple TV+ ?

Apple’s streaming service just like that of Amazon Prime and Netflix is here to provide its subscribers with original TV series available for live streaming as well as download. This content will be available exclusively to the subscribers.

After the mobile industry, the laptop industry and the music industry Apple TV+ is Apple’s next major step to penetrate deep into the consumer market.

We’re honored that the absolute best lineup of storytellers in the world — both in front of and behind the camera — are coming to Apple TV+,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, at the launch of the service on 25th March.

By subscribing to it, not only will you have access to the content streaming on Apple TV+ but also Apple is planning to partner with networks including HBO, Showtime and Starz to act as a gateway to their content with their new TV service Apple TV channels.

Apple TV+ will be available on iPhones, iPads, Apple’s set-top box, and Apple computers. However, the service will also be available via a Smart TV app from companies including Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio. It will also be available using ‘streaming sticks’ though there is no certainty as to whether or not will it be available on non-Apple devices.

Is apple totally new to the TV industry?

Well, while Apple TV has been around the corner for quite some time now, it is going to be much more developed once this service is out and working.

But just like the existing app, it is going to allow users to access the content of over 150 different streaming apps.

Entering into the streaming Tv line is going to be a significant step towards the penetration of the brand into the market deeper.
