Apple's (AAPL, $148.26) Content Will Play on Samsung TVs - Odd Partnership or Clever Strategy?
In what might seem like an unusual marriage, Apple and Samsung have joined hands for a new offering to consumers. Samsung Smart TVs will now play iTunes movie and TV content. Plus, users will be able to transfer/view content like photos and videos from their iPhones and iPads on to the screens of Samsung smart TVs via Apple’s Airplay2.
The partnership between the two rival smartphone makers was announced on Sunday, and reveals yet another potential move by Apple to bulk up its services business. While most of its revenues come from iPhone sales, Apple has been apparently looking to accelerate growth by expanding its services segment – which includes streaming platforms like Apple Music and online music store iTunes - especially since iPhone sales has reportedly flatlined in recent years. Allowing iTunes on Samsung TVs potentially lets Apple widen its reach among consumers.
Earlier instances of Apple tying up with competitors include Amazon's Echo devices starting to feature Apple Music, as announced in November. Amazon has its own music streaming platform Amazon Music. A year earlier, Apple began to allow Amazon’s Prime Video app on Apple TV.
Apple plans to double the size of its service business from 2016 to 2020, as indicated by CEO Tim Cook last week.
