BBC iPlayer update hints at imminent TV app launch in UK
Following an iTunes Movies rebrand on Wednesday which saw Apple spruce up the former @iTunesMovies Twitter account with a new @AppleTV handle, profile picture, cover artwork and account name, an update to the BBC iPlayer app hints that the TV app will be launching in the UK imminently.
Twitter on Wednesday was full of tweets to @AppleTV, with users in the United Kingdom eager to learn when the app would rollout to their iPhones, iPads, and Apple TVs.
Once launched, the TV app will replace the existing Videos app, acting as a hub for users to access their favourite streaming services such as Amazon Prime Video, the ITV Hub and My5 which all launched Apple TV support earlier this week.
No exact date has been given by Apple as to when the TV app will officially launch, with the addition of BBC iPlayer and the ITV Hub and My5 earlier this week it is expected sooner rather than later.
