Prime Video will soon offer Apple TV Plus as a subscription add-on and this could be our biggest hint of an eventual bundle.


As Apple and Amazon compete in the world of headphones, smart speakers, and streaming set-top boxes, the two tech giants are teaming up to offer the best streaming services. Later in October 2024, Apple TV Plus will be available through Prime Video as an additional subscription for $9.99 per month (USD).

It's the same price as an Apple TV Plus subscription, but the addition to Prime Video is important. Amazon's streaming service and app already host a lot of its own content, but the big draw (and the company's hope) is that it's the one-stop shop for all your streaming needs. You can already add subscriptions to Showtime, Max or Paramount Plus, among others, so Apple TV Plus is a welcome addition.

Prime Video already has subscription add-ons for over 100 streaming services, so from a billing perspective, everything happens in one place and in one app. Which means if you're setting up a new TV or traveling, you don't need to worry about downloading multiple apps. The big draw is that everything is hosted on Prime Video, allowing you to have one destination to find the content you want and start streaming quickly… regardless of who hosts it.
