Launched in 2019, Apple TV+ is one of the newer players in the streaming world. But don’t let its youth fool you — this Apple-owned platform has quickly evolved into a hub for high-quality original content. From critically acclaimed series like *Ted Lasso* and *Severance* to Oscar-nominated films such as *Killers of the Flower Moon*, Apple TV+ has built an impressive slate of programming that continues to grow. While it may not release new shows and movies at the breakneck pace of services like Netflix, Apple TV+ offers its content at a fraction of the cost — and often comes free with the purchase of a new Apple device. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about Apple TV+, including how to start a free trial, subscription pricing, and how to watch it on your favorite devices.
Does Apple TV+ Offer a Free Trial?
7 Days Free
Apple TV+ provides a 7-day free trial for all first-time subscribers. To take advantage, simply visit the Apple TV+ homepage or open the Apple TV app, where you’ll find a prominent “Start Free Trial” button. If you've recently purchased a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac, you're also eligible for a 3-month free trial of Apple TV+. This trial must be activated manually via the Apple TV app on your device.
After your trial period ends, your subscription will automatically continue at the standard rate of $9.99 per month, unless canceled beforehand.
What Is Apple TV+? A Quick Overview
Apple TV+ is a premium streaming service dedicated exclusively to Apple Originals — award-winning series, feature films, documentaries, and kids' programming, with fresh content added every month. Although modest in scope at launch, the service now boasts over 180 original series and more than 80 original films. Standouts include Ted Lasso, Severance, Silo, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. In fact, Apple TV+ made history by winning its first Academy Award for Best Picture with CODA in 2022.
Unlike some competitors, Apple TV+ focuses on quality over quantity, delivering thoughtfully crafted content designed to appeal to a wide audience across all age groups.
