Apple TV Could Finally Come to Android Smartphones

2022 is likely to be about to take its bow, however the tech rumor mill continues to be churning. The newest mongering facilities round Apple TV and its close to arrival on the Android platform.

A easy tweet from a famous leaker, ShrimpAppleProfessional—the identical account that tweeted out yesterday’s Pixel Tablet reveal—suggests Apple will launch an official Android app for Apple TV+ content material choices “soon.” Apple Music can be apparently getting an replace on Android for these sick of Spotify and YouTube Music. But there are not any additional particulars past these declarations of arrival.

Currently, you’ll be able to’t watch Apple TV+ content material on an Android smartphone. In Google’s ecosystem, you can solely achieve this by means of Android TV/Google TV-enabled TVs, streaming packing containers, and dongles. Android smartphones and tablets aren’t even listed as appropriate units on the Apple TV web site.

Still, it’s not ridiculous to suppose that is the place Apple plans to broaden its choices. After all, it’s one other income stream, and loads of pundits and Android fans have written about what Apple would acquire by pollinating exterior of its walled backyard. Bloomberg has reported the corporate hesitated to take action prior to now for concern that it will deplete iPhone gross sales. But it’s a marvel if it wouldn’t give of us extra purpose to think about switching platforms.

I’m hoping this type of integration will come sooner slightly than later. I lately determined to get Apple TV+ a attempt after realizing it was the one approach to get some vacation classics into my roster this season with out scraping the online. Admittedly, after its Oscar win with CODA, I turned extra eager about watching Apple’s TV exhibits and flicks.

Apple Music has additionally seen some attention-grabbing success on the Android platform. It’s at the moment hovering at a cool 4.0 within the Play Store scores, which isn’t a nasty rating. Going from opinions, people appear to love its interface over Spotify’s, although they want there have been extra populated playlists to select from. Currently, Apple Music is Android’s highest-rated Apple app.
