Streaming platforms are not at their best, especially due to the amount of competition between them. What if Amazon Prime Video, what if Apple TV+, Netflix, HBO, Disney Plus… The truth is that we cannot subscribe to all of them, and that means they have to be distributed to users.
Apparently Amazon and Apple have reached an agreement so that Prime Video users can subscribe directly to Apple TV+which, although it does not offer an additional advantage in terms of price, does unify both platforms, being able to give the user greater comfort and a broader catalog from the same app.
Apple TV+ within Prime Video
The news would have initially broken in the United States, something that is usually normal, although the agreement seems to reach more countries soon, so we could see, shortly, how Prime Video suggests that we subscribe to Apple TV+ from its platform, And who knows, maybe those ads that previously appear in the movies in the app are from series or premieres from its competitor, trying to get you to see them, and when you can’t, you purchase a subscription to it.
It is not a bad strategy to get new subscribers in both, however, if you are already one, you will not benefit much, since the price of doing so will be the same both individually and through Amazon, although it is true that the fusion of both platforms in the same It is quite convenient, and you will have a double catalog in the same application, without having to move between them.
The press release from Amazon, who would have announced it, despite the fact that both platforms benefit from the agreement, is as follows:
«We want Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and movies from the world’s best storytellers to be available to as many viewers as possible. “We are delighted that Prime Video now offers Apple TV+, offering viewers an incredible range of viewing options.”
For now, users with only Prime Video will have this new option, despite the fact that most devices and smart televisions already gave us the opportunity to download Apple TV, and we do not see an advantage as such in the fact of its integration, except as we said , the ease of not having to move between them, and only having one installed.
And you, what do you think of this change? Do you think that it will make many people not familiar with Apple TV+ try the service just because Amazon Prime Video recommends it, or, on the contrary, it will not matter and it will not change much. subscription of each person? Leave us a comment with your opinion. In my case I already have both, the Apple one being shared as a family, so in my case it is of no use to me, since Prime Video does not offer the family option, and would only be oriented towards individual subscriptions.
