Gone, far behind, are the days when Apple services were exclusive to their devices, and the proof is on Roku, LG televisions, the PS5, the Fire TV Stick Lite, and now the arrival of the Apple TV app to a couple of Google devices.
Google announced in a blog post that the Apple TV app will arrive on its newly launched Chromecast with Google TV in early 2021 as part of its mission to “bring more of your favorite entertainment in one place. ” And in this way your new dongle will strengthen your streaming service offering, integrating the most popular platforms.
Apple and Google, more united than ever
This movement is important because as it has become clear, Apple is very select with the devices that offer access to Apple TV +, its streaming platform. In recent months it allowed the arrival of its app to other platforms, but now it opens up to a broader option such as Google, although initially only with its Chromecast with Google TV.
In this regard, Google also confirms that the Apple TV app will arrive later in the year on other devices with Android TV so that the presence of the app on televisions and set-top boxes with the Google operating system can be expected.
According to Google, the integration of the Apple TV app will be complete on Google TV and Android TV. In addition to full access to your iTunes library and content from channels you subscribe to, it will also display content recommendations.
As we already mentioned, long gone are the days when access to a certain content platform was limited by device. However, it is worth mentioning that the Chromecast with Google TV does not have official distribution in our country, but there are safe ways to import it.
