Deutsche Telekom will offer its Magenta TV service on Apple TV, the telco has announced.

The app, which offers access to the full Magenta TV experience, will launch on July 20, with Deutsche Telekom also offering Apple TV 4K to new and existing customers as a rental or purchase device.

Apple TV 4K is available to Deutsche TV customers for €199 or €10 per month, while a MagentaTV rate with mobile use is required to use MagentaTV on Apple TV 4K.

Michael Schuld, head of TV at Deutsche Telekom, said: “With Apple TV 4K we offer a perfect range of the best TV and excellent hardware with unique comfort to our customers. Thanks to the automatic login, our customers can immediately and easily access their favorite content on MagentaTV. The remote control developed for MagentaTV and certified by Apple also creates an extraordinary and unique customer experience. By this we are setting new standards on the TV market.”
