 Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) have announced a collaboration, as per which Apple TV+ will be available through Prime Video.

Why It Matters: As of April, Prime Video had surpassed 200 million monthly viewers, according to CEO Andy Jassy. The addition of Apple TV+ is expected to further increase the platform’s appeal.

Apple TV+, despite being one of the smaller players in the streaming market, has been aggressively spending on key content and sports media rights to boost its platform and subscriber base.

Earlier this year, a study by Self Financial showed that AppleTV+ ranks first in terms of content quality. The rankings were determined by IMDb ratings, with a score of 8.0 or higher regarded as excellent for the study.

Although AppleTV+ led overall, Prime Video had the highest number of top-rated movies relative to the monthly spend per subscriber.

Meanwhile, Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) ranked first for the most shows with a rating of 8 or above, boasting 837 titles, followed by Walt Disney Co.’s (NYSE:DIS) Hulu/Disney+ with 637 titles in second place.

Previously, it was also reported that Amazon intends to increase the number of advertisements on its Prime Video platform starting next year.
