You might think that Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video are competitors, but like any good buddy movie, the unlikely two team up. The companies announced today that Apple TV+ will soon be available through Prime Video in the United States as an add-on subscription for $9.99 per month.
There doesn’t appear to be any benefit to signing up through Prime Video other than the convenience of accessing both services through the same app. “We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and movies from the world’s greatest storytellers accessible to as many viewers as possible,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services, in a statement from press. “We’re thrilled that Prime Video now offers Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible range of viewing options. »
For those who don’t subscribe, that’s the same price Apple charges directly through the Apple TV app. The monthly price increased from $6.99 to $9.99 last October.
Apple is working to make Apple TV+ accessible to more users, with the goal of expanding the service beyond Apple users. Earlier this year, it announced a partnership with Comcast that bundles Apple TV+ with Peacock and Netflix for $30 per month. This plan is only available to new and existing Xfinity Internet and TV customers.
To sign up for Apple TV+ through Prime Video, sign in to your account and click the button Subscriptions tongue. Amazon says Apple TV+ will be available later this month.
