Apple TV app arrives on Nvidia Shield

The Apple TV app is now available on the Nvidia Shield, an Android TV-based streaming media player.

Shield users can access Apple TV Plus content in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos through the Apple TV app (of course, it requires a subscription). Alongside Apple TV Plus, the app provides access to movies and shows purchased from Apple as well as Apple TV channels such as Showtime and Starz.

The Apple TV app features Apple TV+, Apple’s video subscription service featuring Apple Originals, including series like Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, For All Mankind and Servant; as well as movies like Greyhound, Palmer and Wolfwalkers.

With SHIELD TV, they can be enjoyed in stunning Dolby Vision — a combination that offers beautiful 4K HDR picture quality with remarkable colors, sharper contrasts and incredible brightness. Dolby Atmos is also supported, unlocking richer and more immersive sound. Together, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos deliver the best possible cinematic experience.

The Apple TV app works with the built-in Google Assistant on the Nvidia Shield, which allows users to use the microphone button or call out voice commands to navigate directly.

Apple TV Plus is a streaming service with Apple Originals and new shows added every month. Priced at $4.99 per month, the service comes with a one-year free trial on every new Apple device purchase.
