Amazon Prime Video might be coming to Apple TV soon

Rumour has it Apple and Amazon have called a truce—at least when it comes to Amazon’s video streaming service. Amazon has been competing fiercely with the likes of Apple and Google in the video streaming space. It’s even gotten to the point where Amazon doesn’t have its Prime Video service on Apple TV or most Android TV devices and Apple TVs and Chromecasts aren’t even sold on their site.

But it looks like Amazon and Apple have at least reached an agreement when it comes to Amazon Prime Video’s availability on Apple TV. It’s presumed that Amazon will be creating an app for Apple TV and even a mobile Prime Video app for iOS. The app is rumoured to be coming out this summer. Let’s hope this is true.

Apple TV introduces new feature for live broadcasts

Apple is looking to bring live television to its set-top box with a new “Live Tune-In” feature. It allows you to get right into a live TV feed for certain apps. It’s tied with Siri and Apple TV’s voice-enabled Siri Remote so you can just utter a voice command like “Watch ESPN live” and it’ll launch this for you. Apple mentioned Disney XD and CBS as two apps that support this feature in the update’s splash screen. But for CBS app, you’ll need CBS All Access subscription. And Apple hasn’t indicated yet which apps work with the feature. At the moment, Food Network and ABC don’t work with it.
