Apple TV+ FAQ: Everything you need to know – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)
Apple has joined the likes of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, and HBO Max with its own exclusive streaming service, Apple TV+. The new service, which launched on November 1 last year, features a wide assortment of TV shows funded by Apple’s mountainous cash pile, and the Cupertino company is sparing no expense in its attempt to lure viewers with some of the best-known actors, writers, and directors.
Below, you’ll find a compendium of everything we know about the ambitious service, and we’ll keep it updated as we encounter credible rumors and get news from Apple itself.
Updated 08/17/20: Added information about the new CBS All Access + Showtime bundle.
How do I access Apple TV+?
You can sign up and watch Apple TV+ content through Apple’s TV app, which is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and the Mac—in addition to some supported third-party smart TVs, Roku, and Fire TV devices. You can also watch Apple TV+ on a browser at tv.apple.com.
The experience of the TV app, though, varies from device to device. On a Roku TV or in a browser, you’ll only see Apple’s own content. As we’ll see, there’s not a lot there at the moment.
On an iOS device, a Mac, or the Apple TV, though, you’ll also see shows from other streaming services like HBO, Hulu or Amazon Prime thanks to the TV app’s Channels feature. (Unfortunately, Netflix chose not to join the party.) It makes it easier to see all your favorite streaming content in one interface, and for Apple, it has the advantage of making its library look more robust than it actually is.
Can I watch Apple TV+ shows on non-Apple devices?
Fortunately, yes. In some cases, anyway. You can watch Apple TV+ through the TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and the Mac, but you can also use the TV app on Amazon Fire TV and Roku along with some new sets from Samsung, Roku, LG, Vizio, and Sony. If you have a new set from Samsung, LG, Sony, or Vizio, you should also be able to use AirPlay 2 to broadcast content straight from your iPhone or iPad to the set.
You can watch in Safari, Chrome, or Firefox by heading to tv.apple.com.
How much does Apple TV+ cost?
Apple TV+ costs only $4.99 per month, and that includes Family Sharing. You can renew your subscription for one year for $49.99.
What’s more, customers who buy an Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, or Mac will get one year of Apple TV+ for free, although this is only for a “limited time.” (See the next section for more information.)
You also don’t have to pay anything for Apple TV+ if you’re on the student plan for Apple Music, which costs $4.99 per month. This will only be available for a limited time, though.
Does Apple TV+ have a free trial?
Yes, but it only lasts for seven days.
For a limited time, you can also get a one-year free trial if you bought a new iPhone, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac…
