IT House march 21 news, according to FlatPanelsHD reported that Apple has banned the rental and purchase of content from the Apple TV app on all Android TV devices, and existing rentals and purchases do not seem to be affected.
The option to buy or rent a movie or TV show from the Apple TV app on Android TV and Google TV devices has reportedly been removed and replaced with a new "How to Watch" button. The button tells the user that "you can buy, rent, or subscribe to the Apple TV app on your iPhone, iPad, and other streaming devices." ”
This change will only affect new purchases or rentals on the platform, while Apple TV+ content will not be affected.
According to the report, the reason for this change may be the commission battle between Apple and Google. Google charges a 30% commission on the payment of Android TV and Google TV, just like Apple.
IT House understands that over the past two years, apple and Google's app store agreement to levy commissions has caused a lot of controversy. Despite the pushback by developers and content creators, the two companies themselves have not really regressed.
