-
Apple TV+ typically offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. After the trial ends, the service switches to a paid plan unless you cancel beforehand. This is the standard approach most recent guides mention (with variations depending on regions).[1][2]
-
There are promotional three-month free trials tied to purchasing a new Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, or Mac) or through carrier bundles in some regions. To claim it, activate the trial within a specified window after setting up the new device; if you don’t cancel, you’ll move to the regular monthly rate afterward.[3][4][1]
-
Some promotions offer free access during special weekends or limited-time events. These are sporadic and region-specific, so availability can vary by country and time.[5]
-
Outside of trials, you can sometimes access Apple TV+ content via bundled offers with other services (e.g., telecom bundles) that include Apple TV+ for a set period. Check local providers for current deals in your area.[3]
Quick tips
- If you’re planning to try it, sign up through the Apple TV app or Apple’s site, and set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to continue. This aligns with typical trial terms described in recent guides.[2]
- If you recently bought a new Apple device, look for the “three months free” offer in the TV app within 90 days of setup; this is a common path to extended free access.[1][3]
