Great news, hate using the built in apps on my TV to watch their content.

 

[macduke]

Hope Microsoft is taking a 30% cut.

 

[FaustsHausUK]

Day one availability on both next generation consoles? Nicely done, Apple! I'm hoping it performs better on my PS5 preorder than it does on the Roku TV I have in the lounge. 🤞🏻

 

[mnsportsgeek]

Apple Music? Anyone? No?

 

[mcfly88]

Nice! Hopefully Apple Music is next 🤞

 

[Jason Gaul]

Air Play would be nice as my Sony TV doesn’t support it which is DIIISSSGGGUUUSSSTTIINNN’!!!

 

[luvbug]

Well, if Nov 10th is OK for MS to launch their new consoles, I'm sticking by my guess that Apple will have the ARM Macs reveal on that date, as well.

 

[rjp1]

I hope it is a typo and not one app. Hoping it is an app per show and movie. 😂

 

[nawk]

Surprised MS is not making them release a different app for every single show.

 

[TantalizedMind]

Apple can put their app on Xbox but Xbox can’t put their XCloud app on iOS?

Apple sucks.

Bold Prediction Time:

Between now & mid-Nov, Apple will announce that they have licensed the new James Bond movie, & that it will become Available for Streaming by month's end !

 

[dwaltwhit]

Oh Man! More places for me to watch The Peanuts gang! /s

 

[MrGimper]

Great news, don’t need to update my 3rd Gen ATV now

 

[Techwatcher]

Hopefully Apple Music is coming along with it.

 

[itsmilo]

Does it support 4K as my Apple TV 4 doesn’t.

I have to say TV+ looks the best of any of my streaming services, it’s so sharp and I am not even sure if I am watching in Ultra HD 4K

 

[Marshall73]

So, will this be a full app including access to iTunes extras or the crippled version that is on Smart TV's?

 

[kasei]

About time! The app on my Vizio is crap!

 

[BMox81]

So, will this be a full app including access to iTunes extras or the crippled version that is on Smart TV's?

The "crippled" version.

 

[progx]

Apple Music? Anyone? No?

Does feel a little neglected outside of iOS and Android, doesn't it?

 

[Deliro]

Bold Prediction Time:

Between now & mid-Nov, Apple will announce that they have licensed the new James Bond movie, & that it will become Available for Streaming by month's end !

In this "new normal" people would accept that. I for one want to see movies like James Bond on the big screen with an awesome sound system.

Apple doesnt need MS, but MS needs Apple.

 

[Herrpod]

Fewer and fewer reasons to own that overpriced Apple TV box and it's absolutely useless remote.

 

[ccparkhill]

Be interesting to see if you can bitstream Dolby Atmos to an AV receiver.

A large part of the reason I haven’t tried Apple TV+ is because I didn’t have a way to watch it on my TV.

I’m using a Pioneer KRP-500M, which still rivals the best TV’s on the market, but only has two HDMI inputs so I’m limited to a TiVo and an Xbox One.

Any successful streaming service should be on as many devices as possible so it’s accessible to every consumer. I doubt many consumers were purchasing an Apple TV specifically to watch Apple TV+.
