Robert Way/Getty Images ZDNET's key takeaways Disney is combining the Hulu app and the Disney+ app next year. Most Hulu content is available on Disney+ already, but not all - you still need the Hulu app for now. You'll still be able to subscribe to Hulu and Disney+ as standalone services. If you're a Hulu user, you'll likely be changing apps soon.

Hulu’s days look numbered, but there’s reason for Disney to keep it around

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-17 21:01:00

Bob Iger, the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, announced today that Disney will "fully integrate" Hulu into the Disney+ app in 2026. Although a company representative told Variety that people will still be able to buy standalone subscriptions to Hulu, we can't help but wonder how long that will last. A prim and polished app combining the catalogs, recommendations, and profiles for Disney+ and Hulu subscribers could make a standalone Hulu app redundant. In fact, the ability to successfully combin

In the many years that’ve passed since the introduction of the $999 iPhone X, there have almost always been rumors of an iPhone price hike – and we’re still yet to see a major one come to fruition.

Shifting final assembly of Apple products like iPhone from China to India has helped Apple avoid costly tariffs in the United States.
