What Is Apple TV+? Everything You Need to Know

Apple TV+ is an acclaimed streaming platform that features Apple Originals — a mix of exclusive series, movies, documentaries, and more, with fresh content added each month. Starting with a modest selection in 2019, Apple TV+ has now expanded to over 180 series, including fan favorites like "Ted Lasso," "Severance," and "Silo," and more than 80 original films, including Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon." It also made history as the first streaming service to win an Academy Award for its original film "CODA" in 2022.

Though its library may not be as vast as Netflix's, Apple TV+ prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring there's something for everyone, regardless of age or taste.
