Starting from late October, you can subscribe to Apple TV+ through Amazon Prime Video. This should expand Apple TV+’s reach and allow more users to subscribe easily. Amazon allows other platforms to sell their subscriptions through Prime Video, expanding their reach.
Amazon Prime Video add-on acts as an aggregator and provides access to over 100+ third-party channels and streaming services, with Apple TV+ being the latest addition. Subscribing to a channel through Prime Video gives you a single bill and enable you to manage all your paid subscriptions from a single place. Plus, you can watch the content from the third-party channel within Prime Video without downloading a separate app.
Amazon notes in its that Apple TV+ will launch as an add-on subscription on Prime Video later this October. The monthly membership fee will cost $9.99.
This is the same price Apple charges for Apple TV+ when you directly subscribe to it. Apple’s SVP of Services, Eddy Cue, said, “We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible. We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.
” For now, only Prime Video users in the US can subscribe to Apple TV+. After subscribing, you can access and stream Apple TV+’s library of TV shows and movies within Prime Video. You won’t have to download the Apple TV+ app for this.
It is unclear if Amazon will allow you to log in with your existing Apple TV+ membership in Prime Video. If not, you will have to cancel your membership and subscribe again. This partnership between Apple and Amazon should help expand Apple TV+’s reach to more households and lure more subscribers.
Despite a great content library, the company’s streaming service is lagging behind its competitors. The Apple TV+ is bigger than Paramount+ in the US but is still notably behind Disney+, Netflix, and Prime Video..
