With revenue from iPhone sales on the decline — though that might be temporary given that 5G is right around the corner — Apple has for some time appreciated that its next big revenue driver will come from its line of services, a far-ranging category that includes revenue from the App Store, Apple Music, and more.
In light of that, Apple recently inked a somewhat surprising deal with Samsung to expand the reach of iTunes. As we reported yesterday, all of Samsung’s 2019 smart TVs will include an iTunes app that will enable users to buy and rent movies and TV shows directly from Apple. What’s more, Samsung’s upcoming lineup of TVs will also include support for AirPlay 2. As for folks with older Samsung TVs, you might also be able to take advantage of the new integration of Apple services. Specifically, Samsung noted that iTunes support will also be available on its lineup of 2018 smart TVs via a forthcoming firmware update.
