Since its inception in 2019, Apple TV+ has swiftly established itself as a formidable player in the streaming world. Despite being one of the newer services on the block, it has quickly garnered acclaim for its original content, including hit series like "Ted Lasso" and "Severance," along with critically acclaimed films such as "Killers of the Flower Moon." While Apple TV+ might not churn out new content as rapidly as giants like Netflix, its affordability and inclusion with new Apple device purchases make it an attractive option for viewers. In this guide, we'll delve into what Apple TV+ offers, its pricing structure, and how you can access a free trial.
7 Days Free
New subscribers to Apple TV+ can enjoy a 7-day free trial. Simply visit the Apple TV+ homepage or app, and click on the "Accept Free Trial" button to get started. Additionally, if you've recently purchased a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac, you're eligible for a complimentary 3-month trial of Apple TV+.

Apple TV+ is an award-winning streaming service that offers a curated selection of Apple Originals, including exclusive series, movies, and documentaries. Since its launch, the platform has expanded its library to over 180 series and more than 80 original films, featuring acclaimed titles such as "Ted Lasso," "Severance," "Silo," and Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon." Apple TV+ made history as the first streaming service to win an Academy Award for its original film "CODA" in 2022.
