Apple TV: More than just a TV
Apple TV: More than just a TV
In today’s streaming world, where names like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ dominate, Apple has also made its place. But Apple TV is not just a streaming app; it is an entire ecosystem that consists of two main parts: the Apple TV+ streaming service and the Apple TV hardware device. Combining these two is how Apple delivers its unique TV viewing experience.
Apple TV+: Premium Streaming Service
Apple TV+ is Apple’s own streaming service. It is similar to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but its focus is different.
Focus on original content: You will not find many old movies or TV shows on Apple TV+. Instead, Apple has invested heavily in “original content”. Here you can watch only shows and movies made by Apple, such as ‘The Morning Show’, ‘Ted Lasso’ and ‘Severance’. This is one thing that makes it stand out from the rest.
High quality: Apple pays a lot of attention to the quality of its content. Most of its shows and movies come with great production values and famous casts.
Low price: Compared to other streaming services, Apple TV+’s monthly subscription is usually low, making it an affordable option.
Apple TV: The hardware device
Apple TV is a small box that you connect to your TV. It’s not just for watching Apple TV+, but it turns your TV into a smart hub.
Everything in one place: This device lets you access all the popular apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar and YouTube on a single interface. You don’t have to switch between different apps.
Gaming and apps: Apple TV comes with an App Store, where you can download games and other apps. This makes it more than just a streaming device.
Integration with the Apple ecosystem: If you have other Apple devices like iPhone, iPad or Mac, Apple TV works very well with them. You can use your iPhone as a remote or view your photos and videos directly on the TV via AirPlay.
In short, Apple TV+ is all about high-quality original content, while the Apple TV hardware device brings all these services together on a single platform. The two combine to create a great and simple TV viewing experience, especially for those who are already part of Apple’s ecosystem.
