Apple TV on Android. Image source: Apple. Last updated 7 hours ago. Android owners can now enjoy all their favorite Apple TV+ series and films right from the palms of their hands. Since its launch in late 2019, you've had plenty of ways to watch Apple TV+. Apple has dedicated apps for Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. It also is a common sight on smart TVs. It's also available for PlayStation, Xbox, and Roku. It's even been available to stream in-browser since its launch.
However, there's been one place that seemed to box out any would-be Apple TV+ subscribers — Android phones. That changed Wednesday afternoon with the release of the Apple TV app on the Google Play Store. According to Bloomberg, the company hopes that by bringing its streaming service to Android phones, it can bolster Apple TV+ subscription numbers. And, frankly, it's a smart move. Apple TV+ is one of the few Apple Services that do not rely on Apple hardware. Not to mention, it's already been available for smart TVs. Bringing the service to Android makes a lot of sense, especially now that shows like "Severance" and the fourth season of "Ted Lasso" could serve to drive up subscription numbers.
Apple has done the same thing with its line of Music-based services. In 2015, it brought Apple Music to Android platforms.

Image Capture is Apple's image acquisition app for grabbing pictures from your camera or scanner. Here's how to use it in a variety of settings. The ShiftCam SnapSeries lineup has evolved to include a more powerful battery pack, a larger studio light, and a much taller tripod — all connected via MagSafe. Here's how it all fits together. Apple is once again running ads on the social media platform X, after the company previously stopped all advertising on the website due to the presence of objectionable content on it.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 have finally been upgraded, bringing with it heart rate monitoring and active noise cancellation for the first time. Here's how they fare compared against Apple's identically-priced AirPods Pro 2. The Dio Node sounds great for a single Wi-Fi speaker, but a lack of stereo pairing and the extremely close proximity of the HomePod mini to the price point make it a tough choice.
In an effort to get both more buyers and more developers on board with the Apple Vision Pro, Apple is launching a new visionOS workshop and appears to be preparing to allow third-parties to sell the headset. For years, iPhone owners have been holding onto their devices longer, but new data suggests that trend is shifting — at least for now. If you want to play games on your iPhone or iPad, you're going to need a game controller, and the same is obvious for the Mac. GameSir's Cyclone 2 might be my favorite, thanks to a familiar feel and some notable features.
