Apple is reportedly considering making its entire slate of original content on Apple TV+ available to stream for free during its first weekend in a bid to drive engagement and attract new subscribers, mirroring its “Try it out” tagline. In 2020, Apple extended access to select Apple TV+ content, offering anyone the opportunity to stream it for free during a limited-time period. Recently, the corporation premiered the opening eight minutes of the highly anticipated second season of the sci-fi thriller “Severance”, which originally debuted in 2022, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.

When purchasing a brand-new Apple device, customers are entitled to a complimentary three-month trial of Apple TV+. After a seven-day introductory period, consider investing in a monthly subscription to Apple TV+, priced at $9.99 for a 30-day cycle. You’re allowed to share your subscription with up to five related individuals. Notably, subscriptions are automatically renewed monthly until explicitly canceled.

Subscribing to Apple TV+ can be done through the Apple One bundle plan, which allows you to combine up to six Apple subscription services at a reduced monthly rate, including 2TB of iCloud+ storage. You’ll enjoy a complimentary one-month trial subscription to Apple One. In addition to Apple TV+, Apple offers a range of other services that can be added to an Apple One bundle, including iCloud+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Health+, and Apple News+.
Another way to access Apple TV+ is through a student subscription to Apple Music, which costs just $5.99 per month. To confirm your student status, you may need to provide an email address ending in “.edu”. Apple also utilizes a third-party verification service called UNiDAYS for added security. Availability of Apple TV+ with an Apple Music student plan is subject to change and may expire at any moment. TV+ membership terminates upon the subscriber’s loss of eligibility for the Student plan?
Set reminders in your Apple Calendar app for both January 4th and January 5th. As the anticipated launch date approaches, just seven days hence, it’s clear that come Sunday’s transition to Monday, one burning question will dominate our minds: what secrets does Apple have in store for Apple TV+?
