Prime members should prepare for another monthly fee
As the options for streaming continue to expand, Amazon announced yet another option for Prime members.
Starting later this month, Apple TV+s catalog of TV shows and movies will be available to stream on Prime Video. The additional subscription will run Prime members $9.99 per month.

More to stream
With the new partnership, subscribers will get access to all of the shows, movies, and live events on both Apple TV+ and Prime Video.
Similar to Prime Videos expansion into live sports events, subscribers will now gain access to live sportscasts on Apple TV+. The network hosts Friday Night Baseball each week, a weekly Major League Baseball doubleheader with no local broadcast restrictions. AppleTV+ also hosts select Major League Soccer matches.
Additionally, all movies, TV shows, and limited series, including Apple originals, will be available for Prime Video subscribers who opt into the new partnership.
Everything is under one roof
While no date has officially been announced for this partnership to kick off, Amazon said in its announcement that consumers can expect to see this new streaming option in late October.
When it does become available, everything will be housed under Prime Video. Subscribers wont need to download different apps or set up different logins or forms of payment.
With the Prime Video app, consumers can subscribe to Apple TV+, get billed to the card they have linked to their Prime membership, and watch all of the Prime Video and Apple TV+ content across any of their compatible devices.
Apple TV+ joins MAX, Paramount+, AMC+, Hallmark+, and more than 100 other TV subscriptions available through Prime Video.
