It seems that, lately, streaming platforms They are not fighting with their competitors, but joining them. We weeks ago we saw how Prime Video was associated with Apple TV+, to offer its catalog within the same application, although both should be paid.
Now is the turn of Netflixwhich will have its catalog natively in the Apple TVbeing able to add films to the tracking list, and performing functions that, until now, were only available by unloading their app.
Netflix and Apple TV together?
Some users in the United States have begun to receive indications to connect their Netflix account with the Apple TV application on their Apple TV 4K devices, thus being able to Synchronize both platformswithout using external apps.
After configuring your Netflix account, (which you will have to pay separately), it is possible The “Continue seeing” section, without having to open each app independently.
Integration is not yet complete, since functions such as reproduction progress do not seem to be operational. A is expected Official Apple and Netflix announcement About this collaboration shortly, and all this seems like a simple unofficial test to see what people think, without publicly revealing it. If it operates well, the announcement is likely to be global, and it will also be launched in other countries where these platforms are operational.
What will happen in 2025 with these platforms? It is very true that saying, “if you can't with your enemy, join him,” and it seems that we will see this year. They have already proven that none falls, and that if everyone is going to be competing, it will be best to make friends and help each other, encouraging it to be easier for a user who already has a subscription, that is done with another. For now, Apple TV seems to be the one who is going to do more friends, with Netflix and Prime of the hand, but it is still very green, so we will see if it finally integrates into the platform, or it is only a test that remains nothing.
The interesting thing about this movement is not only comfort for the user, but what could mean for the future of streaming. Yeah The platforms begin to integrate with each otherTo what extent will they remain necessary separately? We could be watching the first step towards a model more similar to cable television, where instead of choosing between services, you finish paying a single package that includes them all. Maybe today it seems a simple collaboration, but in a few years we could be talking about the disappearance of streaming as we know it. It would be the only way to be profitable, since many of them are in losses, being able to offer cheaper plans.
And you, what do you think of this? Do you think about an intelligent movement, or people will continue to use them separately? Leave us a comment with your opinion.
