So, you can pay for Apple TV+, just like you always could, now through another app. Brilliant.
I'm hopeful that we'll eventually be able to separate the app itself from the license to view certain content. Some apps are shit with good content, and some apps are great with insufficient content.
I'd love to be able to have a one-stop shop for browsing or searching for shows and movies that I have access to, whether it's through my Netflix/Amazon/Disney/Hulu/Peacock/Apple/Paramount subscription or whatever. Amazon seems intent on trying to make it happen, but I'd personally prefer that the actual device (Apple TV, Chromecast or whatever it's replacement is called, Roku, XBox, Samsung TV) to just have it on the home screen when you turn it on.
Apple doesn't let me add another profile to the app so we can watch the same show in different paces with family members, since I don't own any Apple devices. I'll be more than happy to shitcan any and all of their apps if possible. Some of the content is top notch, though.
