Apple products can you watch Apple TV+ on

The TV sets and streaming sticks above join the following Apple products that include the Apple TV app.

iPhone

You can use the TV app on your iPhone to search for content, see recommendations, and jump straight to your Up Next list. However, when you choose what you want to watch you will usually be sent to the corresponding app to watch it, be it Netflix, Prime, iPlayer and so on. However, some third-party subscription content might be integrated into the Apple TV app so you won’t have to leave the app to watch it.

In addition, if you subscribe to Apple’s TV+ service, you will be able to watch and download all of Apple’s original content on to your iPhone.

iPad

The situation with the iPad is identical to the iPhone. You are able to watch all the content available in the Apple TV app, and if you subscribe to the TV+ service you will be able to watch all of Apple’s own content as well.

Macs

It always struck us as odd that the TV app wasn’t available on Mac. Especially since many years ago the Mac specific Front Row software was a precursor to the TV app we know today.

Apple’s TV app finally arrived on the Mac with macOS Catalina in October 2019. With Catalina installed, you can watch any content available via the TV app on a Mac, including TV+ shows and movies.
One of the new features coming in iOS 15, PadOS 15 and Monterey will allow you to use AirPlay to send content to your Mac from an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac.

Apple TV set-top box

As long as your Apple TV box features the App Store (that’s either an Apple TV 4, Apple TV HD, or Apple TV 4K gen 1 or gen 2), you can use the TV app to search for content to watch. As with the iPhone and iPad, you are then kicked out of the TV app to watch content in the relevant On Demand app (which you need to find on the Apple TV App Store).

Apple TV owners who have taken a subscription to are able to watch al the new content on your TV screen thier.
