HBO 's long awaited video streaming service is likely to include third -party content. With the platform tipped to be launched on this month , many of Apple 's original programmes will reportedly not be ready this month , meaning that the tech giant will have to negotiate partnership deals for outside content. While Apple has been working on a ton of original content for its new streaming service, Bloomberg says that most of it won’t be ready for the launch later this month. HBO , Showtime and Apple have supposedly been given a deadline of 25 March to decide whether to be part of the launch, but it is unclear what capacity this would be under. Many streaming services are already watchable through Apple TV , but these could potentially be bundled into its own streaming platform.
