TV is one of the fastest-changing ad channels — which says a lot in the context of today’s ad landscape. The way viewers access content and entertainment through TV is shifting at a breakneck speed. And so, too, must the way advertisers reach those viewers. Earlier this year, Nielsen reported that, for the first time, […]

Apple One subscribers can now get a Peacock subscription at a discount. Could there be more perks coming in the future? more…
Apple TV+—er, I meant Apple TV —isn’t often bundled with other streamers, but Apple has just teamed up with Peacock to offer their respective services together, for less. Starting later this month, the Apple TV and Peacock Bundle will get you both Apple TV and Peacock Premium (the latter being Peacock’s ad-supported tier) for $14.99 a month, nearly a $9-a-month savings versus signing up for the two services separately. If you want to skip the ads, you can get Apple TV and Peacock Premium Plus for $19.99 a month, for close to a $14/month savings compared to signing up for the two streamers individually. Already signed up for Apple TV via the Apple One bundle? No sweat. Apple One subscribers on the Family and Premier plans will be able to sign up for Peacock Premium Plus at a 35-percent discount. The Apple TV and Peacock Bundle will debut on October 20, and you can sign up for the bundle on the Apple TV or Peacock websites or mobile apps once the offer goes live. Starting on the bundle’s launch date, existing Apple TV and Peacock subscribers will be able to sample each other’s content. Apple TV users, for example, will get access to three episodes each of Law & Order, Bel-Air, Twisted Metal, Love Island Games, Happy’s Place, The Hunting Party, and Real Housewives of Miami on Peacock , while Peacock subscribers will be able to stream three episodes of Apple TV’s Stick, Slow Horses, Silo, The Buccaneers, Foundation, Palm Royale, and Prehistoric Planet. Besides its catalog of TV shows, Peacock offers live sports, including Sunday Night Football , while Apple TV hosts Friday Night Baseball during the regular MLB season. Before now, practically the only bundle that included Apple TV was Apple’s own Apple One bundle , which offers access to Apple Music, Apple Fitness+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud+. Apple TV is also available in Comcast’s StreamerSaver add-on, which boasts Peacock with ads, Netflix Basic with ads, and Apple TV for $15 a month, provided you’re an Xfinity Internet subscriber. Besides just changing its name from Apple TV+ to simply Apple TV, Apple’s streaming service recently foisted a price hike on subscribers, raising the price from $9.99 a month to $12.99/month, a 30-percent increase. That price hike went into effect August 21. T-Mobile subscribers on certain plans can get Apple TV included in the price of their smartphone service.

Netflix's reality show based on its hit survival drama returns with cash-mad contestants but (seemingly) no Cate Blanchett cameo.
There's a new streaming bundle in town. Apple TV and Peacock are teaming up to offer a combined subscription that starts at $15 per month. This will allow access to all original programming from both platforms, in addition to Peacock's stable of network and cable shows. This is a mighty fine deal, given that Apple TV recently changed both its name and price . The platform costs $13 per month now on its own. Peacock starts at $11 per month. In other words, this is a discount of around $9 each month. In this economy, we'll take any savings we can get. There's one caveat here. The $15 price tag is for Peacock with ads. The subscription shoots up to $20 per month for an ad-free version. However, a standalone subscription to ad-free Peacock is $17 on its own. This bundle becomes available on October 20. Additionally, Apple One subscribers will get a 35 percent discount on Peacock Premium Plus plans. It's always nice when two lonely corporations find friendship, isn't it? For the uninitiated, Apple TV is the company's big-wig streaming platform. It's primarily known for sci-fi like Severance , For All Mankind and the upcoming Pluribus . The platform is also host to plenty of comedy, like The Studio , Shrinking and Ted Lasso . Peacock is NBC's streaming service. It streams old-school network programming like The Office , Grimm and Superstore . The service features a stable of original programming like Poker Face , Twisted Metal and the underrated Mrs. Davis . The platform also recently premiered a little show called The Paper , which is a spinoff of The Office . Against all odds, this is actually a great little sitcom and a worthy successor to the original.

Snap is continuing to lay the groundwork for its first consumer-ready AR glasses called Specs. While the company has still revealed few details about the device set to launch next year , it used its Lens Fest event to preview new features and apps that will work on the new hardware. At the event dedicated to AR developers and creators, Snap said it would enable Specs users to buy items directly from their glasses. Snap CTO Bobby Murphy said that new software tools called Commerce Kit would allow "select developers to accept payments directly inside lenses," either for "digital goods" or as upgrades to unlock "premium features." Snap already allows lens creators to make money off AR effects via its Lens Creator rewards program, but offering in-lens commerce could allow the company to monetize its AR platform in a new way. "This is the start of developer monetization for lenses on Specs, and we plan to continue to find ways you can build sustainable businesses on our platform," Murphy said. Whether this could turn into a meaningful business for Snap is less clear. The company has so far released two versions of its standalone AR glasses, but those devices have been aimed at Snap developers not users. That's set to change next year with its next version of glasses. CEO Evan Spiegel has promised the new glasses will be "lightweight" compared with the current bulky and awkward-looking frames, but has said little else about the design. When Specs do launch, we know there will be a solid lineup of AR features available. Snap has already released a standalone experience for watching Spotlight videos and a more powerful web browser. There's also a new translation lens that can translate and transcribe audio in real-time. There are more AR integrations in the works, according to Snap. Tripadvisor is working on an AR lens that will overlay "trusted insights" into your field-of-view as you encounter restaurants, shops and other establishments in the real world. Design platform Figma is also working on a lens, though Snap didn't share details about how these will work. The updates are a reminder of how ambitious Snap's vision for AR glasses is. The company has been nurturing an ecosystem of AR creators and developers for years; it's now getting ready to carry that work over to its nascent glasses platform. "We see Specs powering everything from classrooms to design studios, creating opportunities and work for developers in entirely new categories," Murphy said. Jim Lanzone, the CEO of Engadget’s parent company Yahoo, joined the board of directors at Snap on September 12, 2024. No one outside of Engadget’s editorial team has any say in our coverage of the company.
