sports streaming service in 2022. All for the $9.99/month fee. In the single test, they proved that NFL game broadcasts were streamed via the Sling Orange tier and not the more-expensive Sling Blue. Yes, you’re paying more money but you’re not being forced into watching Fox’s broadcast.

Yesterday, we shared a report from DSLReports and others that showed that Apple was testing a TV Everywhere-like streaming service in iOS. Today, Apple has made good on that information. While the service is limited to a number of channels, for $14.99 you can access the services for 14 days. This service will not be available in the United States but it will likely expand worldwide as part of the larger Apple TV Services initiative.
As I mentioned yesterday, the Apple TV is still struggling in the U.S. market with Amazon leading the way for streaming media boxes. Despite the smaller install base, Amazon Prime members are quite devoted to the device. These numbers are similar in markets such as the UK, Germany, and Japan. Apple is also still heavily playing catch up in China, where AppleTV still doesn’t have a presence. However, Apple is in a battle with Roku in the Roku Express space, which is what is primarily driving the numbers. While Apple is a newcomer in the streaming media space, it has never had to pay the incumbents for access. Now that it does, the market dynamics have changed and the starting price point for the Apple TV is now quite high.
If Apple is going to compete in the streaming media space, it’s going to need to give more people access. While this new service is a definite step in the right direction, it could have gone further.

When Apple announced the $199 Apple TV 4K last year, it made no mention of a TV streaming service at all.
The company was clearly playing catch up to competitors like Amazon and Roku. Apple already provides two more traditional methods of purchasing content via iTunes and the Apple Music streaming service. While these two may have served their purpose, the number of cord-cutters in the U.S. is still a far cry from what it is in markets such as the UK, Germany, and Japan.
This was Apple’s own decision, so it’s hard to fault them for their decisions. After all, TV networks and streaming services are still a new thing for Apple and something the company will need to learn about first-hand if it wants to break into the media streaming market. However, now that Apple has announced this service, it seems like they’ve let slip something that we now know is a key part of their upcoming plan: A live TV streaming service.
Apple
And it’s exactly what you think it is: A new streaming service that will allow subscribers to access cable news, streaming sports, movies, and more for $15 per month. That’s in line with Amazon’s $13 per month Prime Video service. The important thing here is that this will also be bundled with the Apple TV for the introductory price.
As the main competitor to Amazon Prime, this service will give Apple a legitimate shot at grabbing some of the market shares from the competition. With a fairly large install base of 30M+ Apple TV customers, Apple can afford to test this and see what works best in the market.
Now we have our first concrete evidence that Apple is ready to j
Apple today quietly posted this news to a tvOS sub-support up into the live TV streaming space: A live test of their own service.
