Apple is said to be about to launch an Android version of its TV app. This gives access to the Apple TV + streaming service, which means that the American company can address a significantly larger audience in the future. Movies rented or purchased from the iTunes Store can also be watched on Apple devices.
Is the leaker right again?
The basis for the rumor is a tweet by ShrimpApplePro user. The anonymous leaker’s multiple lines say that the app is supposedly still in the internal beta testing phase, but will launch soon. The existing Apple Music app for Android, which Apple first released in 2015, should also receive an update.
Apple bloggers appreciate the data, as earlier this year ShrimpApplePro correctly revealed the actual look of the iPhone 14 Pro’s new Dynamic Island display. The appearance of the box in which the device is delivered was previously leaked from the account. However, it is not known what relationship he had with Apple and where the information came from.
It has been available for Android TV devices for some time
With the Android version of TV+, Apple isn’t going into entirely new territory. There has been a matching app for TVs with Android TV for a long time. The web version is available at tv.apple.com on Android smartphones or computers or other operating systems. However, the app in the Google Play Store will be more visible and will improve user experience.
While Apple previously focused mainly on its own platform with its own services and applications, the US company has opened its services to more and more operating systems and other devices in recent years. This is paying off for Apple and its balance sheet, especially in these times, as the significant growth of the division shows.
