Frequently Asked Questions
5 questions
Apple TV+ works on non-Apple devices (Samsung Smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Android, web browsers), but you lose the seamless ecosystem integration and family sharing advantages. For non-Apple users, Netflix's larger library provides better value at a lower entry price ($6.99 vs $9.99).
