Apple TV+ To Launch on Prime Video in the US in Late October

After years of being a separate entity from Prime Video, Apple TV+ will soon be a subscription add-on to the streaming service. However, it will still cost customers extra to add the channel to Prime Video.

According to an Amazon press release, in late October, Apple TV+ will be available via Prime Video in the U.S. as an add-on subscription for $9.99 per month. This allows Amazon Prime subscribers to access Apple TV+ without having to subscribe to a separate service.

Mike Hopkins, senior vice president and head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, stated, “Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering a wide selection of premium programming including Amazon MGM Studios Originals, live sports, licensed movies and series, the industry’s largest catalog of titles to rent or buy, and over 100 additional streaming subscriptions. As we continue to expand our offering and make it easy for customers to personalize their streaming experience directly in one app, we are proud to welcome Apple TV+ and its popular and critically acclaimed shows, films and events to Prime Video.”

Eddy Cue, Apple’s SVP of services, added, “We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible. We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.”

Apple TV+ is now part of Prime Video’s wide range of over 100 add-on subscription options in the U.S., available alongside Amazon MGM Originals, movies and series to rent or buy, live sports, and free ad-supported content.

The new package deal allows for a better billing experience, as customers will only be charged by one company for both packages, versus two separate entities. Prime members will be able to subscribe to Apple TV+ with no extra apps to download beyond Prime Video and no cable required. The subscription can be canceled at any time.
