According to reports, Apple is negotiating cooperation with SK Telecom, a South Korean communications company, to enhance the distribution of Apple TV+ content in South Korea. The current Apple streaming subscription service has not landed in South Korea, but Apple seems to be seeking to establish a content distribution partnership in the region.
According to reports, local operator SK Telecom is seeking to cooperate with Apple TV+ to provide its customers with original movies and shows. According to a Korean MTN report, the contract between the two may be about to be concluded.
This cooperation may bundle Apple TV+ subscriptions with the SK Telecom carrier plan, similar to the cooperation between Verizon and Disney+ in the United States. MTN pointed out that Apple will benefit from acquiring paying users and potential iPhone buyers.
It is reported that the “intimate relationship” between SK Telecom President Park Zhenghao and Apple CEO Tim Cook began with the iPhone sales in Korea. The media said that a preliminary consensus has been reached on content cooperation.
