Apple TV could be carrying the HBO Go app sometime in mid-2013.According
to Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly in talks with Time Warner about
the potential deal, although nothing has been finalized yet.
Should an
agreement be reached, it would add to Apple TV’s extensive lineup of services,
including Netflix, HuluPlus, YouTube, and others. Users are already able to
access thousands of high definition movies and TV shows from iTunes and with
HBO Go, there are a lot more selections to choose from. The addition would also
give Time Warner access to another video-delivery device — it’s already
available on Roku and Xbox.
According
to Bloomberg, HBO Go is only available to those who subscribe to the
network through cable or satellite service and it would be the first app on
Apple TV that requires “pay-TV authentication”.
Earlier this
month, Apple CEO Tim Cook
announced that two
million Apple TVs were sold during its fourth quarter, more than the company
has ever sold. That figure is a faster rate of growth than either iPhone or
iPad
