The Apple Orchard Expands: Bringing Apple TV App to Android Phones

In the landscape of streaming services and constant gadfly feuding between tech behemoths, Apple is planning a move that could turn the entire game on its head. With the Apple TV app coming to Android phones, APPLE is making a landmark crossover onto an opposing territory. In this case, it’s not just ‘Apple on Android’, but ‘APPLE everywhere’. This latest news shows APPLE turning a corner. It’s no longer just about the walled garden, but APPLE’s broader ambitions to bring its services to a much wider world.

Apple Bridges the Divide

At the core of this metaphorical evolution is APPLE’s move to cross the technology divide between iOS and Android platforms: its Apple TV app, packed with its Apple TV+ originals, channels and the Store for movie and TV show purchases and rentals, is coming to Android phones and tablets. This move is another step toward APPLE broadening its horizons.

Crafting the Future with Android

The decision to start issuing the Apple TV app for Android is a telling one: APPLE has a strong incentive to push hard on innovation, evolving its business to remain viable in a highly competitive, highly risky market. It has the wherewithal to hire engineers for the specific task of building an Apple TV app for Android and making good on the greatest desires of Apple TV subscribers – such as the ability to download episodes for offline viewing.

Parallel Journeys: From Apple Music to Apple TV

And this isn’t the first time that APPLE has decided that its services or muted versions of them are worthy of being on Android: shortly after its introduction in 2015, Apple Music made the move to the green robot. The journey to bring that Apple TV app to Android has been much more measured, however, demonstrating the nuance of APPLE’s strategy on keeping its services exclusive while accepting the reality of cross-platform reach.

The Strategy Behind the Scene

It’s also clear that APPLE’s more general goal is to bring more eyeballs to its Apple TV+ streaming service. For if APPLE’s TV app can be found on Roku or Amazon Fire Stick or on a games console, or now on Android phones, its reach is suddenly enormously expanded. It also underscores APPLE’s awareness of what it must do in 2020: be less selfish, less proprietary, and more platform-agnostic.

Anticipation and Uncertainty

Even though the announcement has been greeted positively, there’s still no clarity as to when an Android version of the Apple TV app could launch – development has literally just begun, so it could be a while before Android users benefit from the same effortless experience that iPhone users do. But it’s significant nonetheless, evidence of APPLE taking its first steps on a journey towards an evolution in its market engagement and consumer accessibility.

Looking Ahead: A Unified Streaming Experience

And as the Apple TV app on Android inches closer to an eventual release, the move will recalibrate both the streaming space and how other platform ecosystems approach the issue of content delivery over barriers. Within this move, APPLE has shown vision and a commitment to offering a high-quality viewing experience, not just to its own customers but also to those using an Android device. It shows that, when it comes to digital content, APPLE truly believes that content is more powerful, and important, when viewed by more people.
