On Amazon’s Apple TV app →

John Paczkowski:

Incidentally, that Amazon Prime Video is the exception to the conga line of content offerings above is entirely Amazon’s doing. A ~magnanimous~ Apple tells BuzzFeed News that “all are welcome” on its new Apple TV platform. But Amazon — which recently purged Apple TV from its store — doesn’t have a Prime Video app in the Apple TV App Store. And as of a few days ago, it hadn’t submitted one. (An Amazon spokesperson told BuzzFeed News the company “doesn’t have anything to share” on the topic.)

I can see why Amazon would favor its own Fire boxes over Apple’s, but the cold war over Prime video isn’t doing those of us who pay for the service — and like it — any favors.
