Amazon and Apple have announced that the Apple TV+ streaming service will be available via Prime Video later this month. The subscription price is the same — $9.99 a month — and you’ll get the same content as all the other ways Apple TV+ is available.

“We want to make Apple TV+ and its award-winning library of series and films from the world’s greatest storytellers available to as many viewers as possible,” Eddy Cue, Apple’s SVP of Services, said in a blog post. “We’re thrilled that Prime Video will now offer Apple TV+, giving viewers an incredible breadth of viewing options.”

Apple TV+ is home to all kinds of original content, from Ted Lasso to Silo, Slow Horses, The Morning Show, and Severance. There are original movies, too, like Killers of the Flower Moon and Wolfs. It’s also the exclusive home of MLS Season Pass, which gets you every MLS game all season, as well as MLS NEXT and MLS NEXT Pro.

The addition of Apple TV+ adds another stellar option to all the other subscriptions available via Prime Video (this sort of subscription within a subscription has been a thing for a while), such as Max, STARZ, Paramount+, and AMC+, to name but a few of the more than 100 available. It’s also a feather in the cap of Amazon Prime Video, which earlier this year underwent a major rebuild and redesign, and the perfect time to check out what’s new on Apple TV+ this month.

“Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering a wide selection of premium programming including Amazon MGM Studios Originals, live sports, licensed movies and series, the industry’s largest catalog of titles to rent or buy, and over 100 additional streaming subscriptions,” Mike Hopkins, Senior Vice President and Head of Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios, said in the announcement. “As we continue to expand our offering and make it easy for customers to personalize their streaming experience directly in one app, we are proud to welcome Apple TV+ and its popular and critically-acclaimed shows, films and events to Prime Video.”

Apple TV’s InSight feature is ready to take on Amazon Prime Video’s X-Ray

We have a new developer beta for tvOS 18 — the software that runs on Apple TV devices — and with it comes our first look at a major new feature. InSight is Apple's answer to Amazon Prime Video's X-Ray, which provides quick and easy access to who's in a scene, and what music may be accompanying it.

Aside from some basic user interface differences like fonts and design elements — InSight definitively looks and feels like Apple, and X-Ray retains Prime Video's less-sleek motif — they basically work the same. While a movie or show is playing, you can pause or press down (the latter takes you straight to the info) to see thumbnails of the actors on-screen, including their real name (or stage name, we suppose), and the character's name. Click through one of the thumbnails and you'll get more information about the actor, and easy links to other films and shows they appear in, as well as roles they have served in some other capacity. Ted Lasso's Brett Goldstein, for example, has movie and series thumbnails, and he also has tiles for producing and writing.

Live sports are more important than ever. And not just for the usual suspects like ESPN and the legacy networks. The inclusion of streaming services has led to increased fragmentation for some leagues, more headaches for those just trying to watch a game -- and even higher stakes for the companies that have every eyeball on them once the proverbial (and literal) clock starts ticking.

You'll soon no longer need an Xbox console if you have an Amazon Fire TV. Microsoft and Amazon announced Thursday that the Xbox app is coming to Fire TV devices in July.

The Xbox app works with Cloud Gaming, which means with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can stream a huge catalog of games from the Xbox library, including many first- and third-party titles that come to the service on launch day. Huge games like Starfield, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, and the Fallout series are just some examples, and the available games are always changing.
