Apple TV App Expands to Android Phones and Tablets
As of today, the Apple TV application is breaking new ground by officially launching on Android phones and tablets, extending beyond its previous availability solely on devices powered by Android TV or Google TV. It’s quite surprising to see this development from Apple, given their typical ecosystem-centric approach.
Users can now experience the full suite of offerings from the app, including access to Apple TV+ streaming content and the MLS Season Pass, if their device is operating on Android 10 or a later version. At this time, it remains uncertain whether this availability is rolling out gradually or if it’s currently limited to U.S. users alone; reports indicate that overseas users may still find it only available for TVs.
Subscription Options for Users
For those interested in Apple TV+, you have the option to log into an existing account or set one up directly within the app interface. The subscription fee stands at $9.99 monthly, while accessing the MLS Season Pass will cost an additional $12.99 per month or a flat rate of $79 per season.
Live Sports and Limitations
The live coverage of Friday Night Baseball will also be accessible through these newly supported Android devices—an attractive feature for sports enthusiasts. However, it’s important to note that current users do not have access to an in-app marketplace for purchasing or renting films and series.
A Long-Awaited Launch
This update marks a significant step forward as it arrives five years following the initial release of Apple TV+. Thus, many would agree that this launch was overdue and highly anticipated among fans eagerly waiting for broader platform support.
