The Offer
- Apple is extending free trials of Apple TV+ that were given out with Apple hardware. These free trials are now good through July, 2021.
Our Verdict
Apple has already extended this free trial a number of times.
Hat tip to 9to5mac
When this news hit Apple sites a week earlier, it said that they would be extending people’s trials “in the coming weeks.” Mine still expires at the end of Feb, but I’ll give it a few more weeks to see if it gets bumped to July.
Mine has not been extended. It was extended once an extra month to February 2021 must be a case by case basis
Mine’s not expiring til July anyway, and in the 7 months since I started the trial I have yet to use it hah
It’s worth it for Ted Lasso!
Ended up canceling my trial after my family enrolled in Apple One
William Charles Charles I have heard they are giving a $5 credit if you have Apple one and an existing Apple TV plus trial. Just something to keep in mind before canceling for others.
Two words: Ted Lasso
Awesome. Was going to cancel after my free trial was up in March but good until July 15. I have enjoyed some of their shows, Morning Show was great, but there just isn’t enough content to justify another streaming service at $5/mo.
Still showing a February bill date for me but I guess I’ll check again since cancelling the trial immediately ends your Apple+ access. I’ve never watched any of the Apple+ content though so my top priority is not to get billed.
I never used my Apple TV+ subscription because I don’t want to buy an Apple TV just to watch Apple TV+ on my TV.
You don’t have to have a Apple TV. You can download the Apple TV app on pretty much any streaming device.
There is an Apple TV app for Roku and Amazon fire. A chromecast app is on the way.
But if your Tv allows airplay you can cast using that as well.
You really should check out Ted Lasso.
Yeah there’s a common misconception that you need an Apple TV to watch Apple TV+, but there’s a bunch of official apps for non-Apple devices out. My Samsung TV also has an app.
A lot of shows that were planned to premiere last year got delayed until this year or even later. I think this is Apple trying to make up for that.
I got 1 year of Apple TV with my new phone, and I will tell you, IMO even for free that service is expensive.
