Apple is planning to launch its TV subscription service in the first half of 2019, reports The Information. It will be available in the US in the first half and roll out to other countries in the following months, three people familiar with the company’s plans said. It is expect to launch in over 100 countries, making Apple a competitor with both Amazon and Netflix.
The service will include Apple’s original programmes free to Apple device owners and also will enable users to sign up for TV network subscriptions owned by other companies, just as Amazon Prime Video subscribers can do through the Amazon Channels feature, the report said.
