Apple held talks to launch Apple TV+ in China, would become the only US streaming service to be available in the region

Apple reportedly held talks with telecoms giant China Mobile, with a view to launch Apple TV+ in China, according to The Information.



If a deal is struck, Apple TV+ would be the only US streaming service to have a presence in China.
Chinese law typically prevents US services from distributing their content directly. The Information says the proposed deal would see China Mobile offer Apple TV+ for a monthly fee, and feature its content prominently on China Mobile set-top boxes.
Apple and China Mobile would split the revenue from the arrangement. Talks were said to be underway at the end of last year, but the current status of the negotiations is unclear. Apple apparently wanted to announce the partnership last year, but something fell through.
