Given Apple is also investing quite deeply in a multitude of editorial content, including (most recently) podcasting, but also featuring music, TV and various forms of news coverage, you could argue that Apple has the makings for a much-expanded channel offering.

TV+ is also available built in on TVs from manufacturers including LG, Samsung, Sony and VIZIO.Īdd these devices up and Apple’s channel is now available to a global audience on a multitude of devices giving the company a potential reach into billions of homes. 1.5 billion iOS devices that can access the content, millions of Macs, Apple TV, and consoles and streaming boxes from Amazon, Roku, Sony, Microsoft and many more. Whichever way you slice it, the decision to make Apple TV available to Android TVs massively grows the potential installed base of systems that can access the Apple channel.Īs of 2019, we’re told 157 million TVs running Android were sold and this number has only increased since.

Here you’ll search through the available apps for the Apple TV app, which appears to be a highlighted app at present, at least on the test systems here.
