According to Apple, it plans to make its TV app available for Android smartphones as well Twitter user ShrimpApplePro, who accurately leaked the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island hardware design and box for the device. The leaker claims that Apple is testing the app internally and plans to release it soon, but they haven’t given a specific timeframe.
With the Apple TV app, Android smartphone users would have a more convenient way to access the Apple TV+ streaming service instead of having to rely on tv.apple.com on the web. In the Android ecosystem, the app is currently limited to streaming devices powered by the Android TV operating system, including Chromecast with Google TV.
Other non-Apple devices with the Apple TV app include PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Roku and Amazon Fire TV streaming sticks, Roku TVs and select LG Smart TVs, Samsung, Sony and Vizio. The app can be used to stream Apple TV+, buy or rent TV shows and movies from the iTunes Store, and more.
The availability of the Apple TV app on Android smartphones could help increase Apple TV+ viewership and boost revenue from Apple’s services.
