After a couple of years in exile, Apple TV returns to Amazon

A couple of years ago, almost coinciding with the launch of the fourth generation Apple TV, the first to incorporate its own application store, the sales giant Amazon got angry with the manzanita because this device was competing to the Fire TV. Neither short nor lazy, and flaunting its support for free trade, Amazon removed Apple TV from its website. Since then it has not been possible to see a single one of these tricks, however, things are changing.

At the end of last year, Amazon suddenly expanded its streaming video service Amazon Prime Video to hundreds of countries around the world. They have not even bothered to translate the corresponding app and of course, they have not been in any rush to create the app for Apple TV as they did Netflix, HBO and many others. But since now that app is about to arrive, Apple TV is no longer a banned item, and begins to appear on Amazon's virtual shelves.

For the interest I love you andres

Amazon is a company and as such, it is driven by profit. It is not a bad thing, nor should we judge her for it, but a little dissimulation, sometimes, is appreciated.

Fire TV VS Apple TV

After a couple of years in which Amazon has maintained the veto on the set-top-box launched by those from Cupertino, Apple TV is already beginning to appear again on Amazon, specifically, the Apple TV 4K that was presented to the world on September 12 along with the new iPhone 8, iPhone X and Apple Watch Series 3. Obviously, this has a lot to do with the growing rumor that the app of Amazon Prime Video for Apple TV is about to debut in the tvOS app store. In fact, your arrival could occur as early as tomorrow.

As it appears, it disappears, and although it was shown out of stock, now the Apple TV 4K no longer appears as such, although it does appear in the search suggestions. And what is clear is that Amazon is not going to create a product page if it does not intend to use it.

On the other hand, the launch of the Amazon Prime Video app could be as imminent as we have pointed out, but it could also be delayed a few weeks. Be that as it may, It is a good signal, the move suggests that Amazon wants to promote its streaming video service rather than sell its own hardware. Although it is also true that Google's Chromecast Devices, Currently Not Supporting Amazon Prime Video, Still Missing. Think of this as a step forward, rather than ending with a long saga.
