One of the novelties that had to come from the hand of tvOS 11, was the one announced by Tim Cook himself last June at the Conference for Developers in which he stated that in September the Amazon Prime Video application it would finally be compatible with Apple TV, an application that is currently only available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch within the Apple ecosystem.
But a few days before the keynote of September 12, sources related to the development of this adaptation, stated that it would not be available for the date of the keynote, which surely disrupted Apple's plans for the keynote, although with the presentation of the Apple TV 4k we had more than enough if we talk about this device.
Those same sources stated that the application would be available by the end of this month, and according to new sources related to this App, the application is ready to launch this week, a few days before the first NFL game that Amazon will broadcast exclusively this season. Last April, Amazon obtained the rights to broadcast "Thursday Night Football" live for $ 50 million, rights that last year were in the hands of Twitter who broadcast them for free.
The only way to watch NFL games on Amazon is by being an Amazon Prime subscriber. The first game to pit the Chicago Bears against the Green Bay Packers on September 28, date when the App for Apple TV should already be available, so rumors about the launch of the application this week have a more than justified basis. This application has not been available before due to disagreements between Amazon and Apple, disagreements that "forced" Jeff Bezos' company to stop selling Apple TV.
What great news for Apple TV. Necessary
