Streaming TV fans now have the option to bundle Apple TV+ with Netflix and Peacock. And Xfinity StreamSaver is only $15 per month, a savings of 35% off getting the services separately.
It is a significant new option for cordcutters who want to save money.
StreamSaver bundle includes Apple TV+ and a whole lot more
Bundles of streaming services are all the rage. A recently announced one unites Disney+, Hulu and Max, for example. Providers like them because there’s less churn. Someone might drop their subscription to Max because they don’t watch it much, but they are less likely to cancel a bundle with two other services.
And now there’s Xfinity StreamSaver, which bundles Apple TV+, Netflix and NBCUniversal’s Peacock. Comcast launched the bundle on Wednesday after the company’s CEO Brian Roberts revealed some early details about it several weeks ago.
The new option includes a subscription to Netflix Standard with ads, Peacock Premium with ads, and Apple TV+ (which does not have ads.)
On its own, Apple TV+ costs $9.99 a month. The cheapest version of Netflix is $6.99 a month with ads, and Peacock starts at $5.99 a month. That’s about $23 in total, so StreamSaver undercuts that by roughly $8 a month or just over $95 a year.
Take note that the bundle is only available to Xfinity’s internet or cable TV subscribers. Those who get their internet from Cox or Spectrum, for example, can not take advantage of this deal. And it’s U.S. only, of course.
This who are interested can sign up on Comcast’s website now.
So much streaming content
Apple TV+ offers a range of original content, especially top-notch sci-fi like Silo and Severance. Netflix is the 500-pound gorilla of streaming, while Peacock will be the best service to watch the 2024 Summer Olympics.
“StreamSaver is a homerun for consumers who want top-tier entertainment and live sports, and for our world-class partners Peacock, Netflix and Apple who benefit from the reach and depth of our entertainment platforms and Xfinity’s marketing engine,” said Dave Watson, CEO of Connectivity and Platforms, Comcast, in a statement.
