- LeoPanthera 2y agoThe TV app also plays local video purchased from the iTunes Store (which still exists) or imported by the user.
- SSLy 2y agoFor the other apps that support the special API, it can also be a portal to jump straight into their content. Depending on your region, Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime might allow that.
- dabbz 2y agoYou access your Apple TV+ subscription via the TV App lol.
- lotsofpulp 2y agoI edited it to make it a little more clear, but I can see the confusion. Apple sells media that others produce, but they also sell subscription only access to media that they themselves produce. So movies and tv shows that you “buy” (really, rent for as long as Apple allows you to access it) can be accessed via the TV app. Basically, the stuff where Comcast or Disney or Sony or Warner Bros gets paid 70% and Apple gets a 30% commission. But for things Apple directly produces (or buys and then re-sells), they require customers to pay an ongoing fee for Apple TV+. Also, LeoPanthera is right that the TV app can also be your library for your own files that you import, and then you can synchronize that to your phone or iPad’s tv app.
