Default Apple’s redesigned TV app with Apple TV Channels now available in over 100 countries

Apple’s redesigned TV app, which brings together all the ways to watch TV into one app, is available starting today in over 100 countries. The new TV app is available across iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and select Samsung smart TVs. Alongside the new TV app, Apple has also released iOS 12.3 and tvOS 12.3 as free software update for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV that allows customers to subscribe to Apple TV channels within the Apple TV app. Apple says with the new service, its customers will pay only for the channels they want and watch on demand directly in the application.

The Apple TV channels include popular services such as HBO, Starz, SHOWTIME, Smithsonian Channel, EPIX, Tastemade and new services like MTV Hits in the United States. The Cupertino-based iPhone maker plans to add more channels over time around the world. The new Apple TV channels feature also allows Family Sharing where up to six family members can share their subscriptions using just their Apple ID and password. Among many new features, Apple’s new TV app allows subscribers to watch and download shows and movies both online and offline. This makes Apple TV app the first and only place where HBO subscribers can download movies and shows for offline viewing.
