An app that’s already installed on millions of iPhones, iPads and Apple TV streaming devices will serve as a springboard for Apple to launch its much anticipated video subscription service.
Apple unveiled its TV app back in 2016, heralding it as the one place viewers could find and watch TV shows available through entertainment apps, like HBO Go or Hulu, rent or buy movies through the iTunes store, and get viewing recommendations.
