Apple TV+ - $4.99 month starting November 1st, 1 YEAR FREE with new Mac, iPad and iPhone
- Thread starter BAD
- Start date
Is their service going to have movies and TV shows that they don't produce or is it just apple originals?
More than likely you're out of luck. They're willing to take a loss to get more Apple TVs in a home. They don't want to take a loss on existing ones.
They had to go in this low, good they didn't screw this up. This is definitely a value add streaming service until they develop a backlog. So it was always going to be supplementary. You can get this + disney+ for pretty cheap.
So if I'm on a two-year upgrade cycle for my iPhone I basically get it free every other year? If so I'll probably just cancel on the off years and watch the shows I want to for free after I upgrade.
Sounds like a good deal to me.

Cook hinted that they would, saying something about other movies and TV and "the best content" (lol), but no specifics. Not great if they only had their originals.
Definitely not worth it only for their barely announced originals but if they can build a decent library that first free year could hook people in.
Or two of them? One of them that you bought just two months ago! fml

- "Dickinson," a darkly comedic coming-of-age story, explores the constraints of society, gender and family through the lens of rebellious young poet, Emily Dickinson.
- "For All Mankind," a new series from Ronald D. Moore, imagines what would have happened if the global space race never ended and the space program remained the cultural centerpiece of America's hopes and dreams.

- Oprah Winfrey joins the world's most compelling authors in conversation as she builds a vibrant, global book club community and other projects to connect with people around the world and share meaningful ways to create positive change.
$200B in the bank makes this whole service a rounding error. Trying to compete with Apple and Amazon is what scared Murdoch into selling Fox.
There is no way to watch with android or PC
"The service will be available on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, Mac and other platforms, including online at tv.apple.com"
so will be available in browser too.

I wonder if this applies to the Education purchases. If I buy an iPad Air today will I get a year of service and a free pair of Beats Solo 3? If so, order soon to be placed.
Per the press release The Apple TV app is also available on select Samsung smart TVs, and will come to Amazon Fire TV, LG, Roku, Sony and VIZIO platforms in the future. Customers can also sign up and watch Apple TV+ originals on the web at tv.apple.com.
I was planning to buy an Apple TV this year so good deal. 4.99 isn't too bad either but I'm still not sure about the content. I'll be checking it out though since it's free.
This is a thread about a service, not hardware. Although there is a rumor of a new Apple TV coming soon.
$5 a month, a year free if you buy certain products, and they're spending nearly as much as Netflix on new content (about 3-5 times as much as Disney)... they're gunning for it eh.
$5 is a pretty low barrier... but I'm sure a lot of people are going to have to pick and choose because there's so many streaming services out now.

Well heck, if there's a native LG WebOS App I guess I'm in. I only buy iPads after they are old and cheap, $60 savings by bundling is no reason for me to buy full priced Apple devices, that's just crazy.
FWIW people are going to not want to share this outside their immediate families if it uses their Apple account credentials.
I mean ideally the thing to do is wait until all these launch series are fully released and then sign up for a month to binge and then cancel.
