Samsung, Apple Ink Another Smart TV Deal; TV Maker First With Apple Music App

Samsung is the first TV brand to add Apple Music to its smart TV platform, said the company Thursday. The streaming music service is available on 2018-2020 Samsung models. The competitors partnered last year, offering Apple iTunes Movies and TV Shows and AirPlay 2 support on Samsung 2019 smart TVs -- and 2018 smart TVs with a firmware update. Now, Samsung Smart TV owners can try Apple Music free for three months. Monday, the TV maker announced its smart TV customers have access to new health and wellness apps from barre3, Calm, Echelon, Fitplan, Jillian Michaels Fitness and obe Fitness. Later this year, the apps will be part of the Samsung Health fitness platform announced at CES, and the companies are bringing free at-home wellness content to consumers now while they're under coronavirus stay-at-home restrictions, Samsung said.
