We’re officially overloaded with streaming services by 2025, with each costing a pretty penny of your pay packet to keep. Whether you decide to shell out for a service typically comes down to the shows and movies on offer, whether you’re looking for buzzy Netflix series or HBO prestige TV. But there’s an underrated competitor in the mix, especially for TV shows.
Apple TV+, Apple’s own streaming service, has become better and better over the years, hitting it out of the park with sci-fi smashes like Severance, Silo, and Foundation, along with comedy wins like Shrinking, Bad Sisters, and Ted Lasso — plus a few curveballs mixed in here and there.
What is Apple TV+?
One important thing to know? Apple TV+ is not the same thing as Apple TV. As Mashable’s Stan Schroeder explains it, “Apple TV is both the name for the set-top-box hardware device that you buy and connect to your TV, as well as the app that’s available on Apple TV (the set-top-box), as well as Macs, iPhones, and other TV operating systems. And then there’s Apple TV+, which is Apple’s streaming service and a competitor to Netflix, HBO Max, and others.”
