Now time for all those “I’d buy it if they had an Android app” commentators to put their money where their mouth is!
 
I'd suggest that you not hold your breath.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure every one of the Apple Android apps exists to enable those additional non-iOS users to tap into one of Apple's "profit center" services. iMessage only exists as an enhancement to the iOS experience... it doesn't create a revenue stream by itself, in the same fashion as AppleTV+ and Apple Music.
Who knows? I don’t think anybody had “Let’s change name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America” on their bingo card either 🤣

Honestly, RCS has made me not care about that.
How so? Since I use both iPhones and Galaxy S24, iMessages will never come through unless I song out of iMessage on all my Apple devices (which I’ll never do). Of course people could text me using my S24 # but I never give that out to anyone.
 
How do we know you weren't gross 25 years ago too?

He looks pretty normal now:

And he's a billionaire that owns the LA Clippers and built a giant stadium.

What have you done lately

I wasn't and am not overweight and sweating though my shirts.

25 years ago I was a frat-boy and running XC in undergrad. I was gross , but in a different way. 🤣

What do you mean? This makes no sense.
 
From the headline to the comments, it’s clear Apple chose the wrong naming scheme. No one knows it’s the Apple TV app which provides access to the Apple TV+ streaming service along with about a dozen other subscription channels and purchased movies/TV shows.

What kinda sucks too is the Continue Watching part changes depending on what kind of device you’re on.

“However, the app is limited to Apple TV+, MLS Season Pass and MLB Friday Night Baseball content. iTunes Store purchases and rentals are not shown in the app at all, nor can users cannot access their previously purchased library through the Android app.”
Boo Apple. Making yet another variant on the app and not really much better than accessing the website.

Not to mention there is also the Apple TV set-top box.
 
Good to see this. Should definitely help to gain subscribers. There is no need to restrict TV+ service as an Apple device exclusive.

that's just not true anymore. it was when it came out but these days I'd argue they have the best shows of any streaming service
Agree 100% - their quality to quantity ratio is off the charts. Not to say they don't have a few misses, but my wife and I have loved so many Apple shows.
