AppleTV+ is Apple’s streaming service that only streams Apple Original content.


Apple TV app is an application on Apple devices to aggregate video content into one app.

It will display content from the iTunes Store and other streaming services that allow Apple to access their catalog.

There are two editions of Apple’s app: The (full) Apple TV app, and the (specialized) Apple TV+ app. The latter doesn’t have Store/​Library content. Which edition is available to your smart TV, is dependent on agreements between the TV manufacturer and Apple, the exact model of the smart TV and its manufacturing year. It is unfortunately not user choice.
