Apple have officially announced the launch of their video streaming service to compete with the likes of Netflix and Amazon. Apple TV+ is coming later this year, with original content, selectable third-party content, and a redesigned TV app to combine them all.

Reportedly, the service will offer both original and syndicated content, with apple likely to spend billions of dollars on its fresh, in-house media. It could be coming as early as next year.
