Apple TV owners can now access Amazon Prime Video through the streaming device, marking what could be the end of an ongoing feud between the two tech giants. Apple announced today that Amazon’s video-streaming app is now available on Apple TV and Apple TV 4K

APPLE VS AMAZON 

War broke out in 2015 when Amazon banned sales of Apple devices on its platform.

The move was seen as a maneuver to control the living room.

But the Cupertino company counteracted the attack by omitting any shows offered by Amazon in its iOS 10.2 update that included the TV app for its Apple TV – and the two have been rivals since.

However, the latest development has revealed that Apple TV will add the Prime video app.
Rumors of the truce first emerged this past spring, when a report by BuzzFeed revealed that the two firms had come to an agreement that would let users watch Prime videos on their Apple TV devices.
It was initially expected to become available sometime this summer.
At Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June, CEO Tim Cook confirmed that Apple TV would support the Amazon Prime Video app before the end of the year.
But, with 2017 coming to a close, many were left wondering when this would actually happen.
Now, starting today, Apple says the Amazon Prime app will finally be available for Apple TV.
This will allow users to stream Amazon original series and movies.
Apple is also adding support for live sports, with participation from ESPN, the NBA, and Turner Sports.
Thursday Night Football will be available starting tomorrow on the Apple TV app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, the firm noted.
