The topic Apple TV ranks higher than Netflix in new \u2018quality\u2019 ranking<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

Research firm MoffetNathanson has developed a new quality index for streaming services, and Apple TV beat out Netflix in the very first rankings.<\/p>\n

Engagement is the metric that many streaming services use to measure their success. This focus on \u201ctime spent\u201d helps explain why Netflix\u2019s founder once said that the service is competing against sleep.<\/p>\n

But since not all types of engagement are created equal, researchers at MoffetNathanson have developed a new \u201cQuality\u201d gauge to judge streamers\u2019 performance.<\/p>\n

Here\u2018s how each streaming service did in MoffetNathanson\u2019s first rankings:<\/p>\n

As the bar chart shows, Disney far outpaces all competitors in the quality index. HBO Max and Apple TV are in a near-tie for second place, with HBO Max just barely outpacing Apple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Netflix isn\u2019t far behind Apple TV, and it\u2019s followed by a big drop-off before Amazon, Peacock, and Paramount+ round out the list.<\/p>\n

Because the industry values engagement so much, Apple often ranks near the bottom of comparisons between different streaming services. This new \u201cQuality\u201d gauge, though, shows the streamer succeeding in a key area that matters a lot to viewers.<\/p>\n

Apple has always stressed that it wants to create the best content, not the most. While boosting engagement is no doubt a goal internally, hopefully that\u2019s always done with an aim toward keeping quality strong.<\/p>\n

What are your takeaways from the streaming service quality index? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n

Apple TV is\u00a0available for $12.99 per month,\u00a0or you can get it discounted through\u00a0the Apple One bundle.<\/p>\n
