Not long after welcoming Apple Music to its smart speakers, Google has announced that it has reached a deal with its competitor to bring the Apple TV app to its streaming devices.

- "With the addition of the Apple TV app, Chromecast with Google TV users can access Apple TV+ (you’ll need a paid subscription). This makes the Chromecast with Google TV one of the only streaming devices with all the major video subscriptions," said Jonathan Zepp
Head of Media & Entertainment, Android and Google Play.
