It’s home to the Apple TV+ subscription service, but it also presents shows from other streaming partners like Prime TV and Disney+, as well as thousands of movies to buy or rent. There’s curated sections to help you discover more of what you like, based on what you watch across all the different platforms, as well as editor’s choices to pick the best from all the different platforms and do the leg work for you.
