Philips Announces Apple TV App On Android TVs

Philips TVs, and other Android TV devices, have just gained the Apple TV app including Apple TV+.

Apple TV is now available on the Google Play Store for Android TV devices equipped with 8.0 Oreo or higher, as long as it's not an operator-tier device.

This means that if you own a Philips TV, you can now access exclusive content on Apple TV+ (subscription required) and Apple's entire library of pay-as-you-go movies and TV shows.

If you have a penchant for HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos content, then Apple is pretty much up there with the best.

Additionally, there are plenty of award-winning original shows, movies and documentaries from the world's most creative storytellers. Subscribers can enjoy Apple Originals, including series such as Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, For All Mankind, and Servant, as well as movies including Greyhound, Palmer and Wolfwalkers.

Also, on the Apple TV app, you can enjoy Apple TV channels, such as STARZPLAY, Acorn TV, and Noggin, and watch online and offline, ad-free and on-demand, directly on the Apple TV app.

Through Family Sharing, up to six family members can share subscriptions to Apple TV channels using their personal Apple ID and password.

Martijn Smelt, CMO Europe at TP Vision told StereoNET:

I'm delighted that we are now able to add Apple TV plus —one of the very best TV streaming services —to our Android platform, which, thanks to our award-winning picture processing technology and unique Ambilight system, will offer viewers Apple TV+ content in the highest picture and sound quality.

Owners of a newly bought 2021 model year Philips Android TV will find the Apple TV app pre-installed on their Smart TV home screen.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
