Netflix tests biggest TV app redesign in 10 years

Netflix has launched a new revamp of its television app, aimed at helping viewers quickly find what they want to watch. The changes include enlarging title cards, reorganizing information, and highlighting easy-to-read tidbits about each title. Netflix hopes that increasing user engagement with the app will help retain customers and attract new subscribers. The redesign also moves the menu button and adds a new "My Netflix" tab for easy access to shows and movies that users have started watching or saved for later. Some users will see the new format starting this week, with potential changes based on feedback before a wider release.

The streaming wars come down to 2: YouTube v. Netflix - The Economic Times

This competitive landscape stems from their contrasting models: Netflix focuses on traditional TV and film production, while YouTube, an open platform, hosts user-generated content. Both companies are keenly aware of each other's strategies, leading to increased rivalry.

It is unclear who was behind the app, and Apple's guidelines indicate that piracy apps are not allowed. This is not the first time Apple has removed a piracy app from its store.

Netflix confirms it’s cutting off Apple billing for grandfathered subscribers

Netflix has started removing longtime subscribers from their Apple iTunes billing plans in certain countries, requiring them to pay Netflix directly using a credit or debit card. This change affects members on the basic plan who were using iTunes payment, including users in the US and Canada. Previously, Netflix resisted using Apple's in-app subscription options due to the 30% cut Apple took. In 2018, Netflix stopped offering in-app subscriptions altogether. This move means higher prices for some subscribers or switching to an ad-supported plan.
