As promised, Google has just added the Apple TV app to its Chromecast with Google TV. This allows users to access the exclusive content on Apple TV+ (assuming they're subscribed) as well as Apple's full library of pay-as-you-go movies and TV shows.

We'd argue it's this pay-as-you-go library that's the biggest deal here. Apple TV+ has some good content but there's not loads of it. On the other hand, Apple's catalogue of films for rent and purchase is second-to-none, particularly when it comes to HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, all of which are supported when accessing the Apple TV app via the Chromecast with Google TV (yes, we've checked).
