Apple TV+ Joins Amazon UK Prime Video Channel

Starting today, Apple TV+ is now available on Amazon’s Prime Video Channels in the UK. This is a big move for Apple, as it opens up their content to a wider audience outside of their usual ecosystem. If you’re a fan of shows like Ted Lasso and Slow Horses, you can now watch them through Amazon’s platform for £8.99 per month, the same price as subscribing directly through Apple.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you’re already subscribed to Apple TV+ directly, you won’t be able to use those login details on Prime Video, and vice versa. Each subscription is separate, so you’ll need to manage them individually.

The integration of Apple TV+ into Prime Video Channels is particularly good news for users of Android phones and tablets, who may have had trouble accessing Apple’s content through their own app.

For those who might be unfamiliar with Apple TV+, it differs from other streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ by focusing solely on original content. While the library may be smaller, the quality of the shows is consistently high. From star-studded dramas like Slow Horses to critically acclaimed sci-fi series like Foundation, there’s something for everyone on Apple TV+.

Prime Video Channels allows Prime members to add extra paid streaming services to their existing account, all in one place. This means you can pick and choose which channels you want without long-term commitments. You can watch your chosen channels on various devices through the Prime Video app, making it convenient and flexible.

It’s important to note that you need an Amazon Prime subscription first before you can add any channels. If you’re new to Prime, you can try it out with a 30-day free trial.

Apple’s motivation for joining Prime Video Channels is to make their award-winning content available to as many people as possible, a departure from their usual closed ecosystem approach. While there may not be a compelling reason to switch if you’re already happy with how you access Apple TV+, the Prime Video option could be a good fit if you’ve experienced compatibility issues or prefer having all your streaming services in one place.
