Apple TV+ growing across various platforms
Apple has aggressively moved to get its Apple TV app on devices other than its own Apple TV streaming player to spread the availability of its TV+ subscription streaming service.
In October, the app debuted on Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen) and Fire TV Stick 4K in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and India. It was then that Amazon said it planned to bring the app to the Nebula soundbar soon.
The arrival of Apple TV on Amazon streaming devices follows shortly after Apple brought its Apple TV app to Roku. It is also available via Samsung smart TVs.
The TV+ service officially launched on November 1. It costs US$4.99 per month.
