Apple TV Plus cost, 2020 shows, channels, devices, and everything you need to know – AppleTV 4 Jailbreak (appletv4jailbreak.com)
UPDATE: You can now check out our full Apple TV Plus review – but for the nitty gritty of pricing, shows, channels, and more, check out our original Apple TV Plus guide below.
You can now access Apple’s TV Plus service on all manner of devices – but will it, in the words of CEO Tim Cook, be “unlike anything that’s come before”?
The launch of Disney Plus will no doubt be casting something of a shadow over the Apple TV Plus service, with the latter not having the big-name titles or franchises to really compete. But there may be something in it for you, especially as you can get one year’s subscription free when buying a new iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV.
The Apple TV Plus pricing model, with a $4.99 / £4.99 / $AU7.99 monthly subscription undercuts a lot of competing services like Netflix, Hulu and even the Disney Plus price – with the ability to share between six different family members, if you have that many close relatives.
We’ve been keeping close tabs on the programming planned for the service, and you can check out our guide to Apple TV Plus shows for specific titles featuring everyone from Aquaman’s Jason Mamoa to Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds. Apple already dominates as a seller and distributor for content, so it’ll be interesting to see how they take to making that content themselves.
For all the pricing, launch dates, and hype you need to know about Apple TV Plus, though, read on below.
Cut to the chase
- What is it? A rival streaming service that Apple will place its own content on, among other titles.
- When will it be released? It’s out now
- How much will it cost? $4.99 per month / £4.99 / AU$7.99, but when you buy an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV you’ll get one year’s subscription free.

A highlight among those is Amazing Stories, produced at least in part by Steven Spielberg, no less. The resurrection of the show based on the vintage science fiction magazine follows the adventures of a time-travelling World War II pilot. Grand Designs fans should also check out Home, which promises ten episodes of astonishingly innovative abodes that’ll…
