Although we recently announced that HBO was going to stop supporting 3rd generation Apple TV, now we have good news. The new service, HBO Max will begin to be available in Apple from next May 27th. Of course, it seems, at the moment only in the US. At the end of this year it seems that it will expand to new countries and next year to those that are missing. I really do not know if it is good news, the truth, especially knowing the price that this new platform will have.
HBO Max will land at Apple in May at a price significantly higher than that of its competitors
On May 27, it has already been officially confirmed that the new streaming multimedia content chain, HBO Max will be available for Apple TV from iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV.
Existing HBO Now customers who are billed through the App Store and HBO subscribers through Apple TV channels can log in and access the HBO Max app no additional charge. New HBO Max customers will be able to subscribe directly to the application through their direct purchase, as is logical in the subscription model.
The cost of this new modality will be $ 15 per month. A significantly higher price than Netflix or Apple TV +; The reason this new modality costs so much is because it is will launch with more than 10.000 hours of content. It will include Friends, The Big Bang Theory, South Park, Gossip Girl and more that will be added during the first year. It will also feature more than 2.000 feature films, including Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz and The Lord of the Rings.
In the words of Rich warren, President of WarnerMedia Distribution:
The availability of HBO Max on all Apple devices is a great addition to our distribution offering and will provide seamless access to millions of customers.
