AppleTV + vs Netflix Which is better and how are they different? span>
In view of the fact that this new proposal from the apple company has been listed as the “Apple Netflix” , of course it is considered a great competition for such streaming service. Thus, it is important to know what are the main distinctions between Apple TV Plus and Netflix , in order to specify which service is the best, nowadays.
Here is a brief comparison based on their inequalities:
Content
Netflix, being such an established service today, has a wide variety of exclusive, original and classic series and movies that has kept many users hooked around the world.
In this sense, Apple wants to compete against it through its innovative Apple TV Plus service, in which they have opted to publicize their same original programming from a parade of Hollywood stars who were present during the launch event. However, it is not yet known what movies or series they will be and because of this, it has a certain disadvantage compared to Netflix.
General features
While it is true, Netflix adapts its content according to your preferences, since it has a recommendation algorithm that has the ability to provide you with content of interest when you are inside the platform. On the other hand, it is not yet known how the Apple TV + section will work regarding the recommendation of movies and programs according to the viewing habits of its users.
As for the technological aspect of things , Netflix has dynamic scaling flows where it is not necessary to select the level of quality you want to see.
So, everything will depend on your bandwidth; if it is low it will only offer the standard definition versions and if it has absolute capacity, it manages to provide up to 4K Ultra HD resolutions . However, Apple in its Apple TV Plus service has not mentioned anything about 4K support .
User interface
With respect to the user interface , Netflix exhibits one that is completely intuitive and thanks to this, it manages to simplify the navigation of all the content you have recorded in your “list” also supports the search by genre, actor, director and other parameters . In the case of Apple TV, until now it is only known that its interface has been redesigned and seems very attractive, since it contains categories to choose the content you want to watch.
Platform availability
Netflix is currently available for use on a wide range of devices , which can be synchronized with each other. Thanks to this, it is possible to start watching a series in your desktop browser, pause it and continue in the same place when you log in from your Smart TV, for example.
You can even watch Netflix on up to four screens simultaneously , depending on the subscription plan. It also has mobile apps for Android and iOS .
On the other hand, it is not known how you can watch Apple TV +, exactly . Taking into account that, during its presentation, no one mentioned its availability on devices such as Android TV, desktops and laptops, game consoles and tablets that do not belong to Apple .
With all this, you can assume that Apple TV Plus still has a long way to go . Consequently, it is not yet possible to classify it as a better service than Netflix, the latter being a cultural icon adopted by most people. Which, at some point, have been given an “binge of Netflix” uncontrollable through its hundreds and varied contents available.
How to get AppleTV Plus? Prices and rates
Finally, the million dollar question is: How and under what rates can I purchase Apple TV Plus to enjoy all the content? Well, it should be noted that, from November 1, 2019, you can access the Apple TV app and register to enjoy a free trial for 7 days . Which, will be renewed in a monthly subscription, automatically.
In this sense, the price of said monthly subscription will be 4.99 euros , specifically, after those 7 days of free trial. However, it is expected that this price may fluctuate depending on the number of users per account , as do other platforms such as Netflix, for example.
For its part, it is appropriate to note that, when paying this subscription of 4.99 euros, it includes the possibility of watching new films and original programs, without commercials and on demand .
Additionally, you can receive exclusive content every month, download the episodes of your favorite series or movies to be able to enjoy them without an Internet connection and there is the possibility that up to 6 members of your family access your subscription strong>, with its own Apple ID on the same device and without sharing the password.
