HBO Max, Discovery+ to combine into single streaming platform in summer 2023
According to Variety, Perrette told analysts that the only way they could see to turn this into a profitable venture was to combine all the content.
HBO Max, the forthcoming streaming service from AT&T Inc.-owned WarnerMedia, will be available from May 27 on Apple devices, the company said on Monday.
Customers will be able to access HBO Max on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, as well as the Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD. Customers with second- and third-generation Apple TV models will be able to stream HBO Max content from their iPhone or iPad to their TV with AirPlay.
